Just Call Me Ted- Turner's Memoirs to be Published
Source: Associated Press The "Mouth of the South" has a story to tell — his own. Ted Turner, the outspoken yachtsman, philanthropist, CNN founder and ex-husband of Jane Fonda, is writing his memoirs, Call Me Ted: The Life and Times of Ted Turner, to be published by Warner Books in fall 2008.
Financial terms were not disclosed Wednesday, although a publishing official with knowledge of the negotiations said the deal was worth $4.5 million.
Turner, 67, announced earlier this year that he would not seek re-election to the board of Time Warner Inc. He became a director of Time Warner in 1996 when the media conglomerate bought his cable networks company Turner Broadcasting Systems.
