Bob Barker – 99 Years Old – Now Deceased
Bob Barker, the iconic TV host, passed away at 99, just shy of his centennial. A World War II U.S. Navy aspirant, Barker became a household name with ‘Truth or Consequences’ before making history with ‘The Price Is Right.’ Despite his fame, some legal issues marred his career.
Dian Parkinson’s 1994 lawsuit against Barker for sexual harassment marked a tumultuous period, ending with Parkinson withdrawing the claim for health reasons. Another conflict arose with Holly Hallstrom, who alleged unfair dismissal, winning her legal battle against Barker in 2005, further complicating his legacy.
