He was born in Naples, the second child of American parents, Morgan Ott Heiskell and Ann Moore Hubbard, who had married in Wheeling, West Virginia and then moved to Capri. He spent his childhood abroad.
In 1946, aged just 30, he was named publisher of Life; later, as CEO, he had to close it down (in 1972). In 1974 he created People, which rapidly became a great asset.
He was married three times. His first wife was Cornelia Scott, and they had two children. His second wife was the Hollywood actress Madeleine Carroll, with whom he had a daughter. His third wife, whom he married in 1965, was Marian Sulzberger Dryfoos, the widow of New York Times publisher Orvil Dryfoos.
