Larry King Producer Wendy Walker Pens 'The Producer'
Cline told Larry on the phone, "I am shocked like the rest of the world. It
doesn't sink in right now. I'm overwhelmed by this tragedy. I have celine bag to say
that Michael Jackson's been an idol for me all my life. I remember being in my
house when I was very, very young and having his posters above my bed. He's been
my idol all my life, I looked up to him, and my goal was to be maybe doing the
same show business world as him."
And Liza Minnelli called in and said, "Oh, Larry, I couldn't believe it,
honey. I got a call at two o'clock in the morning from a lawyer telling me that
he's gone into cardiac arrest. They said he had been complaining of chest pains,
you know? He changed show business. He hit with a force that was spectacular as
he started to grow up. And then he grew and grew and grew. All the time. He grew
all the time."
Talk about flying by the seat of our pants, we were actually booking guests
while the show was on the air. Larry would say, "We just got this person on the
phone," and he would launch into an interview with no preparation whatsoever.
Michael's death finally felt real to me when I saw the live picture of the
helicopter that was transporting his body to the morgue. And the news just kept
on coming.
As the story unfolded, I noticed a rhythm that is often present when we are
dealing with breaking news. It actually takes on a whole different feel than a
prepared show has when you know exactly http://www.celinehandbagse.com/ what you are covering and with whom.
With breaking news, you are constantly getting new information and an energy
takes over as the story unfolds in a natural way. That was the case with the
Michael Jackson story as we began to let the incoming news items guide us.
Somewhere in the midst of all of this, I went to tuck my kids into bed. Then
it was back to my office, but now I was using my large office in another portion
of the house that had been converted into a stateoftheart newsroom with a dozen
screens that allowed me to check breaking news on all the cable and broadcast
networks, national and international. The news about Michael was spreading fast
all over the world, and global reactions were pouring in about the shocking and
untimely death of this musical icon. it was all overat least for the day. This
was a story that would not end with a single day of coverage or even a week. I
knew it would go on and on as accusations of drug overdoses and fingerpointing
at socalled unscrupulous doctors began to dominate the conversations, along with
relentless reports of Michael's bizarre and unhealthy lifestyle. And then there
were rumors about Debbie Rowe, one of Michael's exwives, the mother of his two
oldest children.
I dropped into bed exhausted and amazed that, once again, I had made it
through a day that dealt me so many dips and turns I should have gotten seasick.
After all, I had awakened with one show in mind and had booked three more before
Larry went on the air. I'd answered thousands of emails, much more than my usual
number, I had taken care of my kids, and we had all done our jobs. And the show
had gone on.
The next night Deepak was among our guests. Here is a segment of his
interview, staggering in its directness and in Deepak's commitment to be the
first person who dared to speak about this.
CHOPRA: In 1988, he [Michael] called me out of the blue and asked me to teach
him celine
meditation. I went to Neverland and we had a weekend together and became friends
since that.
