So sad. Famed journalist Larry L. King passed away on Thursday Dec. 20 — he was 83-years-old.

Larry L. King, known for being a journalist, essayist and playwright, lost a battle with emphysema, his wife Barbara Blaine said.



This Larry King is not the Larry King of CNN royalty, as some may have confused the two. Nevertheless, Larry will surely be missed by his many friends and family that survived him.

During his lifetime, Larry produced profiles of politicians, articles on the flaws and foibles of American culture, searched autobiographical essays and, most famously, the book for the Broadway musical “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” according to The New York Times.

So sad ...

Not really. He lived a long and full life.
