Smiling Gives You Wrinkles

Crystal Hefner: Discovering Self Worth From The Inside And And Plastic Surgery Regrets.

Listen on

Episode notes

Crystal is the widow of Hugh Hefner, the creator of Playboy magazine. They got married when Crystal was 26 years old, and he was 86, that’s 60 years older than she was. They were married until his death, in 2017, and since then, Crystal has been living a new life outside of the Playboy mansion.

At 37, Crystal is the youngest guest on Smiling Gives You Wrinkles so far. And Donna wanted to chat with her because she has such a unique and interesting perspective on aging as Crystal has lived such a big part of her life in a world that shunned getting older and her value was purely put down to what she looked like.

This year, Crystal released her new memoir: “Only Say Good Things” and she has been opening up about her marriage and her old life with Hugh. In this chat with Donna, Crystal shares how she feels about her own self-worth now that she is living out of the mansion - a place where, as she says, aging was considered unpalatable.
