The photograph actually shows English actor and director Laurence Olivier lighting a cigarette for Monroe during a press conference for the 1957 movie Prince and the Showgirl:
Also, Hefner never met Monroe in person, as he himself admitted on a 2011 interview with Piers Morgan on CNN:
Piers: Did you know Marilyn Monroe?
Hefner: She was actually in my brother’s acting class in New York. But the reality is that I never met her. I talked to her once on the phone, but I never met her. She was gone, sadly, before I came out here.
Despite that, Hefner did purchase the space next to Monroe's vault at the Westwood Village Memorial Park, the celebrities' cemetery in Los Angeles, for $75,000 in 1992, according to Reutersand the BBC.
The first issue of Playboy, which came out in December 1953,was 48 pages long and featured inside a nude 1949 calendar shot of Monroe, which Hefner bought for $200. All 70,000 copies of the magazine sold out within a few weeks.
Monroe died on 5 August 1962 in her Brentwood home of a drug overdose.
