This guy is one step above Hugh Hefner. Seven kids from seven different women. Probably all gorgeous. Still dating women in their twenties. Still friendly with many of his past loves. And a self-made millionaire from his nightclubs. You have to respect his drive. And his sense of humor. Offering "250,000 euros ($340,000) of his fortune to the last woman he has sex with, provided he dies in her arms after a 'final, glorious orgasm.'" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Film untangles life of celebrity German playboy (Reuters) Source: Reuters Wed Feb 16, 2011, 6:58 am EST BERLIN (Reuters) - The life of Germany's most celebrated playboy has made a big screen splash at the Berlin film festival, offering a riveting portrayal of the Jewish night club mogul who helped post-war Berlin learn to laugh again. "The Big Eden," an entertaining documentary about Shimon "Rolf" Eden, is more than just a story about an 80-year-old who has seduced a long line of young women over the last 60 years with his unique charm. The warmly applauded film shows unexpected facets of Eden -- an Israeli soldier who returned to Berlin after World War Two with no bitterness about the Holocaust -- and how he made his fortune in Berlin running the city's most popular night clubs. "I've had a lot of luck in life," Eden said on Tuesday after watching the world premiere with former girlfriends, his seven children and most of their seven mothers. "I'm still not sure why I've had so much luck. I hope it continues for a while." Eden, who boasts that he has had thousands of girlfriends, may be seen in Berlin now as a bit of an oddity. With bleached blond hair and a permanent tan, he is often seen strolling along Berlin's avenues with one of his many young women on his arm. But the film by Peter Doerfler shows new insights into the ever-smiling man whose family escaped the Holocaust by leaving Berlin in 1933 and who in the 1950s went to Paris with just a few dollars in his pocket. "A lot of people groaned when I first said I wanted to do a film on Eden," Doerfler told Reuters, admitting he had once thought that he was an embarrassing figure. "But there's so much more to him that you discover when you look a bit deeper." NIGHT CLUBBING Eden opened the first of five West Berlin nightclubs in 1957 with the help of a 5,000 mark grant from the West German government. His boundless optimism helped make it the hottest spot in town. Everyone from the Rolling Stones to Liza Minelli, Louis Armstrong and Jack Lemmon found their way there. "I didn't care about what had happened 10 years before," Eden tells some friends in Israel of his return to Berlin. "I was lucky. All my relatives survived. I'm not a victim. I was a winner. I made people happy. I helped people forget misery and think about beautiful things." Several former girlfriends appear in the film to explain how his sunny optimism, perseverance and seemingly unlimited resources won them over. "He's never grown beyond puberty," says his current 20-something girlfriend Brigitte of Eden, who admits to having had three face lifts. "Even when we broke up he gave me a gold ring worth 10,000 marks," said Uschi Buchfellner, a former German model and actress. "The next boyfriend I had wanted all the presents back that he gave me." Eden briefly gained international fame eight years ago when he offered 250,000 euros ($340,000) of his fortune to the last woman he has sex with, provided he dies in her arms after a "final, glorious orgasm." He said the offer still stands. "It's been great," Eden said. "Women come up to me and say they want to sleep with me. And they work really hard to try to finish me off. But the sex is great. For a man there's no better way of staying fit." (Editing by Elizabeth Piper) | |

 Maybe he'll find a woman like the kind you see in Bond films who kill people (usually men) with the strength of their thighs, or more generally by working for a terrorist organization bent on world domination, or just trying to screw up the U.S.'s gold reserve. But regardless of his fuck-to-death cash offer (I'm sure Hef has something that anticipates this in his prenup) it sounds as if Eden's had to survive a little bit more than what life has thrown at Hefner. I mean the worst Hef's had to face is some criticism from feminists and possible bankruptcy...but he's still an octogenarian with a fiance in her twenties and a population of former girlfriends that probably rivals the size of some cities! And compared to the stuff guys are thinking up on the web Playboy is practically G-rated now. Have they made a biopic about Hefner yet? They already did one about Larry Flynt, and that was almost fifteen years ago. (Edit: Thanks to lk2fireone for the Hefner doc info below.) "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

"Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist and Rebel" was a documentary film released in movie theaters last year. This was a full-length documentary that was shown in movie theaters as a separate feature, just like a regular movie. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Updated 7/28/2010 10:19 PM Hugh Hefner documentary reveals more than pretty faces By Maria Puente, USA TODAY Hugh Hefner's life, as we all know, has been a sybaritic male fantasy, living like a pasha in his pajamas, surrounded by barely clad bosomy bombshells, sometimes cohabiting with up to seven (really) at a time. So it's no wonder we hardly know anything else about him. Who can see beyond all that to the real Hef: rights activist, literary and journalistic tastemaker, humanitarian? Yes, humanitarian. Did you know Hefner, 84, once sent his black jet, Big Bunny, with the Playboy logo on the tail, to airlift a gaggle of orphaned babies and toddlers from Vietnam, with some of his Playboy bunnies assigned to watch over the kids? Now comes Hugh Hefner: Playboy, Activist and Rebel, a revealing documentary by Canadian filmmaker and Oscar winner Brigitte Berman (opening Friday), who takes a closer look at the man she says has helped liberate American culture — racially, sexually, politically, psychologically — since Playboy began publishing in December 1953. "I wanted to set the record straight, not whitewash Hefner or his reputation," says the German-born Berman, who met Hefner at the 1987 Oscars when her film on bandleader Artie Shaw won best documentary. "Yes, he's a hedonistic playboy and lover of many women, but he's also the activist who fights for civil rights, freedom of speech, abortion rights, women's rights, gay rights." The film is the latest in a spate of documentaries that take a seemingly well-known person (Joan Rivers, Daniel Ellsberg) and tell us something we didn't know. Hefner is delighted with the film. He has never much cared what anybody thinks of his lifestyle, but he knows the price he paid was in his credibility as a serious campaigner for human rights. "There's a whole other side (to me) that most people didn't really know about, and she's filling out the picture," he says in a phone interview from the Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles. "(Science fiction writer Ray) Bradbury said a long time ago about Playboy that people can't see the forest because of the tease. People don't see Hefner clearly because of the high-profile nature of my lifestyle — you know, the pretty ladies." The pretty ladies do show up in the film, but it's really not about them, nor Hefner's wives and children and live-in lovers. It's about all this other stuff Hefner has been doing for a half-century. His TV shows, Playboy's Penthouse (1959) and Playboy After Dark (1969), were groundbreaking as entertainment and as harbingers of social change. Because of Hefner, Americans for the first time saw black artists and integrated acts perform live on TV before integrated audiences. "He gave a platform to people with something to say when no one else would," Berman says. A supporter of Martin Luther King Jr., he advanced civil rights by, among other things, closing down Playboy clubs in the South that refused entrance to African Americans. He gave money to the Equal Rights Amendment campaign, condemned the Vietnam War, campaigned against censorship, promoted American jazz, and published cutting-edge literature and journalism (yes, people really do read Playboy for the articles). But if you can know a man by his enemies, then it's telling that Hefner's opponents have included such feminists as Susan Brownmiller and Gloria Steinem and the Catholic Church and Pat Boone, all of whom considered Hefner a pornographer. "The Playboy philosophy is seditionary to the American way of life," Boone declares in the film. Brownmiller, author of a 1975 groundbreaking book on rape, also appears, denouncing Hefner as she has done since the early 1970s. Steinem, who made her bones with a 1963 article about working undercover as a Playboy bunny, refused to be in the film, Berman says. But plenty of others show up to give Hef his due or a piece of their mind: comedian Bill Maher, sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Kiss bassist Gene Simmons, singer/activist Joan Baez, comedian/activist Dick Gregory, filmmaker George Lucas. Meanwhile, Hefner continues to work ("Retirement is the first step toward the grave," he says) and fully expects to be editing Playboy when he goes ("My mother lived to 101," he says). His life has been pretty good, he says; this film polishes his legacy. "My position is relatively secure, but I do think without question this movie is going to help." | |

I was thinking more along the lines of a narrative movie, like what was done with Flynt, not a doc...though either way it's probably too tame for my 21st century 'net-honed tastes.
