A thing or 2 about Kerkorian
KIRK Kerkorian, whom we just lost: He fought Alan Ladd Jr., who then resigned MGM’s presidency. He sold his Pierre apartment to Phyllis
McGuire. In ’ 93, he bought $ 28 million of Chrysler stock. He created superluxe MGM Grand Airlines, where we’d get manicures while airborne. Gambling, losing $ 75,000, he bet another $ 75,000— and won.
His divorcing wife wanted $ 320,000 a month. Both his lawyer and P. I. were indicted. Age 93, he was dating. Kirk Kerkorian, colorful guy.
