Patricia Booker: Rupert Murdoch's First Wife - A Look Back
Ever wondered about the woman who first captured the heart of a media titan? Patricia Booker, Rupert Murdoch's first wife, remains a figure shrouded in a certain mystique, a woman whose early life and marriage to the burgeoning mogul set the stage for his dramatic and often controversial personal life.
The year was 1956. A young, ambitious Rupert Murdoch, just 25 years old, stood at the altar with Patricia Booker, a striking beauty from Melbourne, Australia. Their union marked the beginning of Murdoch’s journey into the world of marriage and family, a journey that would eventually span decades and several high-profile relationships. Booker, a former department store model and flight attendant, possessed a charm that captivated the young Murdoch. They met at a party in 1953, a chance encounter that blossomed into marriage three years later. She was more than just a pretty face; Booker was a woman of substance, with a background as a shop assistant and flight attendant, experiences that undoubtedly shaped her worldview.
