Family Disputes, Greed and Guardianships: Rain Man and Casey Kasem
Manage episode 300756433 series 2951249
For episode number four, we have a very interesting theme for you: when requests for guardianships get tangled up with family disputes, economic interests and sometimes, sadly, elder abuse. To support this episode we talk about a movie classic: Rain Man (1988) starring Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman, two brothers who go on a cross country journey after the youngest (Cruise) realizes that his father left all the money, which he believes he’s entitled to, to his estranged older brother (Hoffman) who has a cognitive disability. We then follow up with the very complicated case of Casey Kasem, a radio personality who as he aged got diagnosed with dementia and found himself in a very nasty family dispute over who got guardianship over him: his second wife or his eldest children; and just like in Rain Man, there was also a very large sum of money involved.
