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 Davis’s ruminations on race, politics and culture. Fascinated, Hef sent the writer—future Pulitzer Prize–winning author Alex Haley, an unknown at the time—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 today—and that has featured just about every cultural titan of the past half century.
To celebrate the interview’s 50th anniversary, the editors of Playboy have assembled 13 compilations of the magazine’s most (in)famous interviews—from big mouths and wild men to sports gods and literary mavericks. Here is our collection of 10 interviews with the most notorious renegades.

I think I’m going to start buying playboy for the articles
Somehow I ran across this series of books. Who knows what I was searching for. Anyway I now own three-music men, writers, and this one. I’ve only read the first interview with Timothy Leary, and I’m not sure how I feel about that. The only drugs I have ever taken are prescribed for me or that demon alcohol. I am holding to the end to judge this book considering this is the first exposure I’ve had to these interviewees.
Sooo I really enjoyed reading these interviews! Some seriously challenging men! I think the last one with members with the IRA is the one that got to me the most. I’m glad I bought these. I think I’m going to learn a lot
