SHORT TAKES : McMahons Clear Divorce Hurdle
<i> From Times Wire Services </i>
Ed McMahon and his wife, Victoria, have cleared a final obstacle delaying their divorce.
A statement issued by the McMahons said they had “reached an amicable agreement to our mutual satisfaction.” The obstacle was not described and there was no elaboration.
McMahon, the 67-year-old “Tonight Show” sidekick to Johnny Carson and host of the “Star Search” talent show, filed for divorce in 1989 after 13 years of marriage. The couple have an adopted daughter, Katherine.
After a hearing a year ago, Mrs. McMahon’s attorney said McMahon had agreed to child and spousal support of $50,000 a month and shared custody of Katherine. The lawyer said the divorce will not become final until at least January, 1991, for tax reasons.
