Hollywood's Serial Divorcers
Larry King
Number of Divorces: Eight (Seven marriages)
The King of Cable also holds the record for the most divorces of any of the late-night talkers. (The previous record was held by Johnny Carson, who married four times.) The ladies seem to be attracted to those infamous suspenders—King dated actress Angie Dickinson, and was engaged to two other women in addition to his marital conquests. King’s wives include his high-school girlfriend. His most interesting time at the altar came not once, but twice—he married Playboy bunny Alene Akins in 1961, in a marriage that lasted two years, and gave it the old college try again in 1968, but Round 2 only lasted three years. Apparently, holding on to Larry is something to be proud of: His soon-to-be ex-wife, Shawn Southwick, said proudly in 2007 on their 10-year anniversary that she was “the only wife to have lasted into the two digits.”
