““Didn’t he die?””
You’re thinking of Kondracke’s first wife:
In 1967, Kondracke married Millicent Martinez, a half Jewish, half Mexican liberal activist. They had two children, filmmaker Alexandra and Andrea, now a medical doctor. Kondracke battled alcoholism during the 1980s, and he credits Millicent for helping him end his addiction by 1987. In 1988, Millicent was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Her long battle with the disease led Kondracke to become an advocate for Parkinson’s research and for increased government spending on medical research. Millicent Kondracke grew increasingly incapacitated by the disease and died on July 22, 2004.
Kondracke detailed his family’s struggle with Parkinson’s in a 2001 book called Saving Milly: Love, Politics, and Parkinson’s Disease (ISBN 0-345-45197-X). The book was the basis of a CBS television movie called Saving Milly, starring Madeleine Stowe and Bruce Greenwood, which aired March 13, 2005.
On May 6, 2006, Kondracke married Marguerite Sallee, CEO of America’s Promise.[7] He is a trustee of Dartmouth College, a board member of the Parkinson’s Action Network and a member of the Founders Council of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.
Jaba the Hutt!
Actually, I think I was conflating Mort with his wife.
