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 Davisâs ruminations on race, politics and culture. Fascinated, Hef sent the writerâfuture Pulitzer Prizeâwinning author Alex Haley, an unknown at the timeâback 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 todayâand that has featured just about every cultural titan of the past half century.To celebrate the interviewâs 50th anniversary, the editors of Playboy have assembled 13 compilations of the magazineâs most (in)famous interviewsâfrom big mouths and wild men to sports gods and literary mavericks. Here is our collection of 12 interviews with the most booed and beloved athletes.
