This weekend marked the release of Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist, Rebel, a new documentary from Brigitte Berman about the political side of the Playboy founder. In a conversation with New York, Hefner offered a bit of self-analysis, along with some Mayflower-era name-dropping: "Historically, the suffrage movement and the prohibitionist movement were bedfellows; they went hand in hand. So, why wouldn't there be some puritanism in the women's movement? That's who we are as Americans. My own forefathers–I am a tenth generation descendant of William Bradford, the Puritan governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. So some would say my life has been kind of a reaction to exactly that Puritan heritage."
