Larry King & the Bar Fly

The King is Retired - Long Live the King!

The King & (current) Queen Shawn

Spotted, as I ran through the bar at the Regent Beverly Wilshire hotel, one February night in 1996: Larry King, the King of Talk.  I couldn't stop to chit-chat, nor could he: Larry was sweet-talking some tasty-looking young slip of a thing who wiggled about in a little black dress.

Shortly, bless her heart, Shawn Southwick would take him away from all that foolishness...

"Marriages came and went in quick succession: high-school sweetheart Freda Millar (1 year), Annette Kaye (briefly), Playboy bunny Alene Akins (2 years), Mary Sutphin (3 years), the bunny again (5 years), math teacher Sharon Lepore (7 years), businesswoman Julie Alexander (3 years) and singer/TV host Shawn Southwick (12 years and counting)."  [Thank you, Navamsa.com !]

It's Good To Be The King!
