Does the name Russ Meyer ring a bell? Decorated World War II cameraman, nude photographer, controversial screenwriter, celebrated satirist, all good stuff…but to a majority of America he’ll always be known as the Godfather of the modern sex flick! And to help celebrate a true Playboy legend, we’re airing five of his most famous films this March on Playboy TV!

Born nearly 90 years ago, Mr. Meyer and Playboy have had a long and storied relationship. Going all the way back to the 1950’s and the infancy of the bunny brand, his photography work with Hef helped launch the magazine. Over the years he shot dozens of nude centerfolds (including one of his own wife!), but that was only the beginning.
