Benton last saw Hugh Hefner about six months before he passed away. They both shared a nostalgic moment in the playboy mansion and the star opened up about her experience to People.
“I went up to the Mansion, and rather than sit where other people were, he wanted to sit with me privately. When I was there for a party or a small get-together, I never got to talk to Hef. So we went to one of the rooms in the Mansion, and behind closed doors, we had the most amazing conversation about old times,” she said. “We just had a great talk. I felt like he kind of knew that it was coming to an end. When I left, he said, ‘I hope you come up and see me more often.’”
