No, that viral picture doesn't show Hugh Hefner lighting a cigarette for Marilyn Monroe

People are sharing on Twitter tributes to Hugh Hefner, the Playboy founder who just died, aged 91, at his Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles.

Many people paid tribute mentioning Marilyn Monroe, who famously appeared on the very first cover of the first issue of Playboy magazine in December 1953.

However, a picture circulating on social media allegedly showing Hefner lighting a cigarette for Monroe in 1957 is a fake:
