Be All You Can Be: Celebrities Who Have Served In The Military
Hugh Hefner
Long before Hugh Hefner ever became the face of Playboy and one of the most well-known playboys of all time, he served as a U.S. Army Soldier during WWII. In 1,946 he was released from the Army and became a copywriter for Esquire Magazine. After deciding that he wanted to make a real name for himself, Hefner raised thousands of dollars in order to launch the Playboy magazine and released the first centerfold: a nude picture of Marilyn Monroe.
