Steely Dan Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Link DALLAS -- Bob Guccione, who founded Penthouse magazine and created an erotic corporate empire around it, only to see it crumble as his investments soured and the world of pornography turned toward video and the Internet, died Wednesday. He was 79. A statement issued by the Guccione family says he died at Plano Specialty Hospital in Plano. His wife, April Dawn Warren Guccione, had said he had battled lung cancer for several years.

The Senator Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 One of the funniest features in the mag was 'Letters to Penthouse' - outrageously fictitious fantasies, along with the tone of anonymity they feigned to affect - something like Dear Penthouse, I'm a student at a large Ivy League school in rural upstate New York. One night, after a massive keg party, five of the girls from the floor upstairs sneaked into my room... Ah, the memories of those girls. RIP, Bob.
