Very sad to report that Harry Kullijian has died at the age of 91.
Yes, he had a nice, long life but if you ever saw he and his wife, Carol Channing together, they seemed like a couple of kids and you wanted them to have as much time together as possible.
They were sweethearts in junior high school but then spent the next 70 years or so apart – married others – before finding their way back to each other.
They married in 2003 and in 2005 started the not-for-profit Dr. Carol Channing and Harry Kullijian Foundation for the Arts.
Their mission was to tell the world that exposure to arts would benefit students in other scholastic and social areas.
The couple’s late-in-life love story is beautifully featured in the documentary Carol Channing: Larger Than Life which opens in Los Angeles and New York on Jan. 2o with a wider release to follow.
“Every time he kisses me, I think I’m 12 years old again,” Channing says in the film.
There’s was a real love story and my condolences to Miss Channing
for her loss. I’m so glad she and Harry found each other again. They
were always so enchanting together.
