William Graham — the son of Katharine Graham, the publishing honcho featured in new biopic “The Post” starring Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, has committed suicide 6 days before the movie premiered. He was 69.
Graham, who was one of the heirs to the Washington Post-Graham fortune was the son to Phil and Katharine Graham. His father also committed suicide.
The Post published Will’s obit Saturday, saying the 69-year-old lawyer died last Wednesday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to his older brother, Donald. His father, Phil, also committed suicide in 1963 by shooting himself with a shotgun. Will’s mother, Katharine, served as primary publisher of the Post for more than 2 decades thereafter. She played a crucial role in the Post helping bring down President Nixon during the Watergate scandal. She also led the charge in continuing to publish the Pentagon Papers despite being challenged by the U.S. government in court. source tmz
