The Playboy Interview: Killers, Assassins and Revolutionaries

The Playboy Interview: Killers, Assassins and Revolutionaries

About the Series: In mid-1962, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner was given a partial transcript of an interview with Miles Davis. It covered jazz, of course, but it also included Davisâ€™s ruminations on race, politics and culture. Fascinated, Hef sent the writerâ€”future Pulitzer Prizeâ€“winning author Alex Haley, an unknown at the timeâ€”back to glean even more opinion and insight from Davis. The resulting exchange, published in the September 1962 issue, became the first official Playboy Interview and kicked off a remarkable run of public inquisition that continues todayâ€”and that has featured just about every cultural titan of the past half century.
To celebrate the interviewâ€™s 50th anniversary, the editors of Playboy have assembled 13 compilations of the magazineâ€™s most (in)famous interviewsâ€”from big mouths and wild men to sports gods and literary mavericks. Here is our collection of 10 interviews with the most notorious renegades.
