Many people who  think of Phil Donahue, the pioneering talk show host who died on Sunday at 88, may conjure the caricatured image as played by Phil Hartman on Saturday Night Live in the early 1990s: roving around his set with a mic, interrogating his weeping guests at machine gun-pace, rolling his eyes and barking at audience members’ insipid questions. They think of him as someone with absolutely zero bedside manner, as Hartman does in this SNL segment featuring Donahue barking at a parade of sobbing domestic violence victims.How Hollywood Hid Rock Hudson, Its Biggest Gay Movie Star

Disclaimer: The article contains mentions of murder. Reader discretion is advised. Charles Manson was one of the most notorious serial killers in US history. His crimes came to light in December 1969 when the authorities charged him and his followers for the brutal killings of actress Sharon Tate and her friends. The court found Manson and his followers guilty and given the death penalty. However, in 1972, the state of California abolished the death penalty, and all their sentences were changed to life imprisonment. His crimes and reputation have since made people curious about his personal life and if he had any kids.
