Henry Bushkin, who for many years was Johnny Carson’s confidant and lawyer, wrote a book in 2012 called “Johnny Carson,” which was not particularly flattering to the King of Late-Night.
Reports the New York Post’s gossipy Page Six, Buskin is “turning his book into a Broadway musical, and Joanna [Carson is] a big character in the show, we hear.”
Joanna was Johnny’s third wife, the report says, adding, “In Bushkin’s book, Johnny romantically rips up a prenup hours before marrying Joanna — then winds up giving her a $35 million settlement when they split.“
I loved the book. It’s a shame Johnny could never keep permanent friendships.
I worked with a guy who had a personality like this. Funny, talented yet VERY unforgiving over small
‘what-evers’ and would hold the grudge for years.
Was it Bi-Polar? I don’t know but scary stuff.
