"Dynasty"
Tycoon John Forsythe Marries
John
Forsythe, boss to Charlie's Angels and patriarch of Dynasty, has gotten
married again.
However,
not even the publicist for the erstwhile Blake Carrington professes to
know the intimate details of how the nuptials went down.
The
basic facts are this: Forsythe, 84, married Beverly Hills businesswoman
Nicole Carter, 62, on July 25 in Solvang, California, in what his
publicist says was "a small and very private ceremony."
Forsythe
reportedly met Carter at a social event more than a year ago. He
purportedly decided to reveal his hitherto unpublicized hitching on
Wednesday, after a tabloid reporter called him at home and threatened to
write a story even if Forsythe would not corroborate it.
This
is the actor's his third trip down the aisle. He was married to his
second wife, Julie, for 52 years, until her death in 1994. He and his
first wife, Paula McCormick, divorced in 1940 after a two-year union.
The
official statement reads: "After the tremendous amount of
work-related publicity during his gratifying Dynasty years...John is now
enjoying the quiet of his beautiful ranch, just three hours north of Los
Angeles." An avid racing fan, Forsythe owns and breeds
thoroughbreds at his Big Train Farm to race at the Hollywood Park and
Santa Anita tracks.
There
is a possibility that Forsythe will again provide the voice of Charlie
Townsend in the upcoming Charlie's Angels 2: Halo, as he did in the 2000
movie, starring Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu, and the
original Spelling-produced '70s series about the crime-fighting babes,
starring Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson and Farrah Fawcett.
Aside
from his Charlie duties, Forsythe also played the handsome playboy uncle
Bentley Gregg raising a niece in the 1957-62 sitcom Bachelor Father. His
credits also include two Alfred Hitchcock films, Topaz and The Trouble
with Harry, and the 1967 true-crime thriller In Cold Blood with Robert
Blake.
But
Forsythe will forever be famous as the suave, handsome tycoon on Aaron
Spelling's ultimate '80s prime-time sudser, Dynasty, starring opposite
Linda Evans (who played his glamorous spouse, Krystle) and Joan Collins
(his scheming ex-wife, Alexis).
And
while there is a 12-year gap between the newlyweds, Forsythe will hardly
garner the same ink that former costar Collins did earlier this year
when she married for the fifth time. The flamboyant British star, 68,
said "I do" in February to Percy Gibson, 32 years her junior
and the same age as her son, painter Sacha Newley.
