Larry King: The King of Talk

Before he was the legendary suspenders-wearing host, King faced a major legal hurdle that nearly ended his career.

• The Arrest (1971): Arrested in Miami and charged with grand larceny for allegedly stealing $5,000 from a business partner.
• The Fallout: He lost his radio jobs and fell deep into debt, eventually declaring bankruptcy in 1978.
• Resolution: The charges were eventually dropped due to the statute of limitations, allowing him to rebuild his career at CNN.
