El Jefe and Hef turn 81

Published on August 16, 2007

Fidel Castro and Hugh Hefner have more in common than one would think. Both were born in 1926, the same year as Miles Davis, Marilyn Monroe, Queen Elizabeth, and Jerry Lewis. Both are responsible for revolutions of seismic proportions, and both are horn dogs — claiming to have slept with more than 1000 women.

So in honor of Fidel's 81st birthday this week, New Times provides a handy compare-and-contrast.
