Merv Griffin Photos

Merv Griffin, 79, poses for a photo at his office in Beverly Hills, Calif., Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2004. Griffin was nowhere near ready to retire. He invested the sale money in treasury bonds, stocks and other investments, then went into real estate and other ventures because "I was never so bored in my life," he said in an interview.
