Most of all, I want to be known as Barbi Benton, the singer, not as Hugh Hefner's girlfriend.
People recognized us together and our names were synonymous. Whenever you heard Barbi Benton, you think of Hugh Hefner. And I loved that. I was his girlfriend and he was my boyfriend.
My main motivation for staying in the spotlight at all is, I don't want to just be known for being involved in 'Playboy,' or having been Hugh Hefner's girlfriend - I hate that. I like to show I can do other things and take on other challenges. That's my main motivation.
I wrote a draft of 'Playboy' for Warner Brothers, and it was impossible to really be independent of Hugh Hefner. In the end, Hugh Hefner was unable to take the back seat required to be able to write something about him that I felt I could do.
By the end of his life, one has a far easier time picturing Hugh Hefner buying his girlfriend a comfy pair of slippers than one of the satin corsets the Bunnies used to wear.
When I first started to sing, people automatically asked what Barbi Benton was doing behind a microphone, and I'm determined to show them there is talent here.
I think Hefner himself wants to go down in history as a person of sophistication and glamour. But the last person I would want to go down in history as is Hugh Hefner.
The most fascinating person I have met so far is indeed Mr. Hugh Hefner. An incredible man!
My first wife was a brunette, and Barbi Benton, my major romantic relationship of the early 1970s, was a brunette. But since the end of my marriage, all of my girlfriends have been blonds.
I found Hugh Hefner to be a charming gentleman.
My best pick-up line is "My name is Hugh Hefner."
Hugh Hefner represented pop culture in a way that no else could.
Mocking Hugh Hefner is easy to do, and in my mind should be made easier.
I have for many years been puzzled by the persistence of Hugh Hefner. Why is he still here?
I am like Hugh Hefner minus anything good about his life.
Famous Playboy Hugh Hefner managed to successfully stop an order of monks from operating a business on his property. The police forced the friars to close down their stall, which was outside the Playboy mansion where they had been selling flowers. Said one friar, well, if it was anyone else we may have gotten away from it, but, unfortunately, only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
Hugh Hefner was instrumental in my career, you know, by promoting the free-speech movement. People forget that about him.
