As he told the LA Times, "I'm a believer in things symbolic. Spending eternity next to Marilyn is too sweet to pass up."

She reportedly earned only $50 for the photo shoot that Hefner later bought for $500. As she wrote in her memoir: "I never even received a thank you from all those who made millions off a nude Marilyn photograph. I even had to buy a copy of the magazine to see myself in it."

The Independent UK ran a column calling it "grossly disrespectful."

But to me there's something rather poetic in the fact that we'll be buried in the same place. And that cemetery also has other meanings and connections for me," he said, pointing out that Dorothy Stratten, the Playboy Bunny who was murdered in 1980 by her estranged husband, is also buried there.
