A remarkable TV legend Larry King was welcomed in New York in 1933.
His professional career started in Miami, where he worked on a radio as an interviewer
and a journalist.

Then he became a host of his own TV show called Larry King Live.
Nowadays, the celebrity deals with two television shows called Politicking with Larry King and
Larry King Now.
In addition to all that, he writes books, does charitable work and features in movies
and TV series.
It would be interesting to know that the celebrity’s personal is not less bright than professional
one.
He was married eight times and raised seven children.
So, let’s find out more about his closest people!
In 1952, when King was 18, he married his high school sweetheart Freda Miller.
Due to the fact that they were too young to start a family, it was annulled by their parents
in 1953.
Annette Kaye became the celebrity’s second spouse in 1961.
This union lasted only a couple of months but resulted in Larry’s first child, who
was born already after divorce.
In 1961, a famous TV host got hitched with Alene Akins who worked at a Playboy’s nightclub
at that time.
The marriage lasted till 1963.

years until their marriage was dissolved.

One more former wife is Julie Alexander King who walked down to the altar with a television
legend in 1989.
Both of them lived in different cities and had been dating for only three months before

After that Larry had been married to Deanna Lund but the union was very short-lived.
