After more than 40 years working side by side with Mr. Playboy, Hugh Hefner, secretary Mary O'Connor passed away over the weekend.
Hefner didn't hesitate to expressive his sorrow on Sunday via Twitter:
O'Connor made a couple of appearances in "Girl's Next Door" and could be seen here in this episode of "Kendra," the television show following the life of Hefner's ex-girlfriend, Kendra Wilkinson.
Sorry for the cliffhanger, but at least Mary made her appearance as she was getting ready to babysit Kendra's child whose father is former Philadelphia Eagle wide receiver Hank Baskett.
Kendra was also deeply affected by the passing of O'Connor, whose age hasn't been revealed, but we know she was in her 80's. These were Kendra's tweets in memory of O'Connor.
She shared her thoughts, not once, but twice and as we can see, she was very close to O'Connor.
Also expressing her grief through Twitter was Brigdget Marquardt, who also starred in "Girls Next Door," thanked fans for their support:
''Thank you for all the sweet messages. Mary O'Connor will be missed. #RIPMary.''
There is no doubt that O'Connor played a huge role in Hefner's career and personal life. According to MSN, O'Connor helped get his marriage with his new wife, Crystal Harris, after the wedding had been called off by the 26-year-old British model.
