Carol Channing (05/20/1998)
Actress Carol Channing says she's had enough of her 86-year-old husband Charles Lowe. The 77-year-old Channing claims that during their 41 year marriage, Lowe was only intimate with her 2 times. She says that shortly after they married in 1956 Lowe told her that he was impotent. She also said that he assaulted her, stole her money and made a regular habit of humiliating her in public. Even as recent as her three year tour in the musical "Hello Dolly," in which she earned 5 million dollars, she says when she checked with her accountants they showed that she only had $2 million in the bank. The couple separated in December and this past Tuesday, Channing filed for divorce in Los Angeles.
