Donna Hogan, sister of Anna Nicole Smith, contacted Hugh Hefner and asked him to give up his burial plot next to Marilyn Monroe so Anna could be buried there instead.

The tycoon, who hopes to be buried next to the movie icon at Westwood Memorial Park in Los Angeles when he dies, admits he was floored by the strange request from DONNA HOGAN, which came days after the death of 1993's Playmate of the Year.

He reveals, "The sister asked if it was possible to be buried there, which I though was out of the blue."

Hefner declined the odd offer, but not out of disrespect for Anna Nicole, who he admits he liked a lot.

Donna Hogan gave a teary explanation to Hugh Hefner on why she wanted him to give up his plot. She told Hugh that Anna Nicole Smith was such a devoted fan to Marilyn and idolized her so much, that it would only be right for her to lay next to her in death. Donna then started talking about how much Hugh claimed that he liked Anna and if he really did, he would give up the plot so that Anna could rest in peace next to her idol.

On the other hand, Hugh is more than willing to dedicate an upcoming Playboy issue to Anna, featuring her image on the cover and previously unreleased photos of her in a layout. He says the spread will be a tasteful tribute to the former model.
