LARRY KING - MY REMARKABLE JOURNEY
Murdoch Books - $39.99

THE DEFINITIVE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS PERSONALITIES IN TELEVISION HISTORY

For half a century, the world's most influential figures have told their stories to Larry King. Now the man in suspenders shares his inspiring story, from his humble roots in Depression-era Brooklyn to the heights of celebrity as host of CNN's ‘Larry King Live’.

Before he befriended presidents, sporting stars and iconic entertainers, Larry grew up on the streets of Brooklyn, where he was known to friends as 'Zeke the Greek the Mouthpiece' because he never stopped talking. Larry delves deeply into his extraordinary personal odyssey, beginning with the death of his father at age nine. He has lost jobs, had a three-pack-a-day smoking habit, been down to his last $2 when he won an $8000 trifecta at the racetrack, been married seven times to six different women, had a heart attack and quintuple bypass surgery, and has founded a heart foundation that has raised millions.
Filled with evocative personal anecdotes and behind-the-scenes observations on some of the most famous people in the world, from Audrey Hepburn, to Mohammed Ali, to the Dalai Lama, and various US presidents , My Remarkable Journey will be a hit with entertainment and biography fans worldwide.
Larry King is the host of CNN's ‘Larry King Live’, the first worldwide phone-in television talk show and the network's highest-rated program. It has been twenty-three years since the show first aired on CNN and it is the longest running television show ever to screen in the same time slot continuously.
