Married for over 50 years, Lorne’s career and wit kept him grounded — and running the show, even if he jokes otherwise. Adopting her kids, Robert and Katrina, and now enjoying grandkids like Dragons’ Den star Miles, David credits Lorne for sparking his passion for antiques — and his entire TV career — after she inspired him to ditch textiles and become her manager.
