NEW YORK (AP) - John Randolph Hearst Jr., a grandson of media titan William
Randolph Hearst and heir to the family fortune, has died, the company said
Saturday. He was 77.
Hearst died Friday in New York City, the Hearst Corp. said in a statement on
its website. The cause of death was not disclosed.
John R. "Bunky" Hearst spent most of his career at the company his
grandfather founded. Besides serving on the board, he was a trustee of The
Hearst Family Trust and a director of the Hearst Foundations.
"John was always very devoted to the company founded by his grandfather,"
said Frank A. Bennack Jr., CEO of Hearst Corp. "Those of us who served with
him on the various Hearst Boards remember his great wit and interest in
everything the company and Foundations were doing. Bunky will be greatly
missed."
He also worked for Hearst publications, including as a news photographer for
the New York Daily Mirror in the 1950s and as an editor for Moto r Boating &
Sailing magazine.
He suffered a debilitating stroke in 1989, but several months later, he
married 50-year-old Barbara Hearst. The marriage lasted until 2004, when
Barbara Hearst filed for divorce, accusing him of constructive abandonment
and cruel and inhumane treatment.
In 2007, in the midst of legal proceedings, Barbara Hearst asked a state
Supreme Court judge to increase her monthly support from $26,000 to $90,000.
But the judge instead reduced it to $20,000, suggesting Bunky Hearst's wife
had looted his estate by going on a spending spree with her husband's money
and investment accounts. The judge also recounted how, according to court
papers, Hearst's wife entered his bedroom with two process servers and told
him, "We can do it ugly, or we can do it nice. ... Remember one thing, I'm
much smarter than you are."
The New York Post put it on a list of the city's nastiest divorces.
Bunky Hearst was born in New York City on Dec. 8, 1933, to John Randolph
Hearst and Gretchen Wilson. He spent his youth at Hearst Castle in San
Simeon, Calif. He said his nickname came from a character in one of his
grandfather's newspapers, the New York Journal-American. He is survived by
his daughter, Lisa Hearst Hagerman, and three grandchildren.

...hmmm. Is there a Hearst-Argyle television station in this country
that still has a ban on running CITIZEN KANE? I know that there was a
miniseries on A&E a couple of decades ago dealing with the history of
RKO Radio Pictures, and A&E was (and still is) 1/3 owned by Hearst...

There was no Arthur Lake Jr. His name was Arthur Patrick Lake and I
was acquainted with both Art and his parrents. He died in an
automobile accident in 1994.

Patrick Silverlake and changed his name to Arthur Patrick Lake. So his
son *was* Arthur Patrick Lake Junior. I know we always called him Art
Jr or Arthur Jr, but he was also known as Arthur Patrick and until I
read the Silverlake family tree I didn't know his father's full name
and never heard of him called anything but Arthur Lake.
BTW - Marion Rose is still alive.
