<b>Historic flesh peddler:</b> Hugh Hefner<br>
<br>
Beginning with Marilyn Monroe in the very first issue of Playboy back in 1953, Hefner has been on an almost messianic quest to run naked photos of every decade's sex symbols. He ran pics of Jayne Mansfield, Pamela Anderson, Cindy Crawford and Farrah Fawcett. He even ran nudie shots of video game icon Lara Croft. One suspects that if he'd been in business earlier, we'd all know what Clara Bow looked like sans bloomers.
