Hefner stepped down from her position at Playboy on January 30, 2009. Christie Hefner is the daughter of Mildred Williams and Hugh Hefner. Her parents had separated by the time she was two. When her mother remarried, she moved to Wilmette, Illinois. There she graduated from New Trier High School. She attended the Interlochen Center for the Arts. She graduated summa cum laude from Brandeis University with a Bachelors degree in English and American literature in 1974. She was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in her junior year. After college, she started working at Playboy. After five years, she was promoted to vice president, her father declaring her the "heir apparent." In 1982, she became president of Playboy Enterprises, and was made chairman of the board and CEO in 1988. The company acquired adult-oriented businesses such as Spice Network and ClubJenna. The Age reported in October 2008 that, for the first-time ever, Hugh Hefner is selling tickets to his celebrity-filled parties to offset his cash-flow problems due to setbacks Playboy Enterprises has suffered, including decreasing Playboy circulation, decreasing stock value, and ventures that have yet to turn a profit. Christie Hefner released a memo to employees about her efforts to streamline the company`s operations, including eliminating its DVD division and laying off staff. On December 8, 2008, Christie announced her plans to step down as CEO of Playboy as of January 31, 2009. She married former Illinois state senator William A. Marovitz, a real estate developer and attorney, in 1995 and lives in Chicago. Since May 2005, she`s been a contributing blogger at The Huffington Post.
