Kirk Kerkorian welcomed his first child, Tracy Kerkorian, with his ex-wife, Jean Maree Hardy. The couple had first met at the Thunderbird resort in Los Vegas. Tracy’s mother, Jean, was a dancer from England, who traveled the world instructing dance troupes.
Tracy Kerkorian’s parents fell in love while Jean was sent to check opportunities to choreograph a performance in Las Vegas. The former couple shared their vows in front of friends and family on 5 December 1954 amidst friends and families.
Tracy Kerkorian is not an only child in the Kerkorian household. Jean and Kirk welcomed, Linda, a little sister for Tracy to play with. Because Kirk was intensely secretive who barely made television presence, he had managed to keep his daughter, Tracy’s childhood a secret.
However, Kirk Kerkorian’s daughter, Tracy, and Linda’s name serve as a portmanteau for his holding company, Tracinda Corporation. Similarly, he named his charitable organization, the Lincy Foundation.
Although Tracy Kerkorian’s parents divorced after 30 years of marriage, they remained close friends.
