 Charles King was born December 5, 1956. To friends
and family, he's always been just "Chuckie." The third youngest son of
prominent Oxford citizens Montgomery and Eupora King,
Chuckie had eight brothers -- Midas, Jerusalem, Abra,
Barron, Joseph, William, Fetch and Coobie -- and one adopted
sister, Bolivia. The King children grew up in a lavish
antebellum home on what is today the largest plot of
unspoiled wilderness near the center of town.
Chuckie graduated from Oxford High School in 1975 and
flew directly to Los Angeles, California to become an actor. After several
hard-fought years, King enrolled in medical school at Suntech College in Barstow, California. He was a dentist for
a short time before going back to school and studying
plastic surgery.
King returned to Oxford in 1985 and opened a cosmetic
surgery office in 1988. He is usually found at the Downtown
Grill and Holiday Inn bar, where he often entertains crowds
as a pianist.
Until 1996, King had enjoyed a thriving practice in
Oxford, and then he was convicted of statutory rape. Records
show that he served no time, and the town is so muddled with
rumor that only passersby and newcomers to town will have
surgery done with Dr. King.
According to select friends, King, who was a regular
at casinos on the Gulf Coast and in the Mediterranean,
invested in Bacchanals' Destruction with the hopes of scoring
one last jackpot in order to retain his full estate.
According to the best available information, King has had no social
association with John Grisham.
