Famous Line
No doubt you remember this famous line that Hugh uttered! Well he’s the backdrop to that happening, “The first thing he asked me was if would mind if he held my hand.” Then, “I told him I had never been out with anybody over 24 and he said, ‘Neither have I!’ I looked at him like, is he joking, or is it true?” Classic.

Love and Tears
Benton opened up to People magazine about her feelings regarding the death of Hugh Hefner, “I cried all night [when I found out],” and adds, “I was a basket case.” She also recalls one of the times she saw him last, a few months previous, “I went up to the Mansion, and rather than sit where other people were, he wanted to sit with me privately.” This meant a great deal to Barbi as she knew how close knit he was.
