A book by the legendary CNN broadcaster Larry King with Dedication in his handwriting and signature
The book of the legendary CNN broadcaster Larry King "Tell it to the King" New York 1988. On the title page is a dedication in King's handwriting and signature: "To David Fox, you're a young man and I'm sure you'll learn a lot here, in friendship l king 7/6/88 "
Larry King [1933 - January 2021] a Jewish-American radio and television broadcaster. Hosted the main entertainment program on CNN's "Larry King Live" from June 1985 to December 2010. His parents were Orthodox Jews who immigrated to the United States from Belarus in the 1930s. In June 1985 he began directing the main talk show on CNN and has since embarked on an extensive career and become one of the greatest facilitator in the world. His interview style is considered direct, but avoids confrontations - an approach that is perceived as one that facilitates his interviewees and allows them to answer complex questions in a flattering way. Over the years, King has conducted more than 40,000 personal interviews with the most famous and influential figures in all public spaces in the United States and around the world, and he considered one of the greatest interviewers of the last generation. King visited Israel several times and interviewed all Israeli prime ministers except David Ben-Gurion. In 2017 King said "I love being Jewish, proud of my Judaism, and I love Israel." About his success, King told to "Calcalist" in a 2011 interview: "I never imagined my life would be like this. I pinch myself every day to make sure it's real. Overall I was a Jewish kid from Brooklyn who wanted to be a radio broadcaster, and I think even my mother did not believe this was what would come out of her son. The truth - especially she did not believe". King, who fell ill in Corona, was hospitalized at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, and died three weeks later (January this year).
