BOB BARKER — 97 YEARS OLD

Bob Barker was the face of CBS’s hit game show The Price Is Right. He started working as a game show host from 1972 up until his retirement in 2007, then he was later replaced by Drew Carey. Prior to his work in the popular game show, he used to be the host for Truth or Consequences from 1956 until 1974. Barker, who has been a vegetarian since 1979, used his growing responsibilities to make a positive impact and eliminated all animal-based products on the show.

For his personal life, he married his high school sweetheart in 1945 but sadly, his wife passed away from lung cancer. Bob didn’t remarry after that, but got into a romantic and complicated relationship with The Price Is Right model, Dian Parkinson. They needed lawyer intervention and the event resulted in a lawsuit. Recent reports state that he’s currently recovering from his multiple health issues and we hope for his fast recovery.
