Conrad Hilton: Great GravityWhile appearing as a guest on "The Tonight Show" one evening, famed hotelier Conrad Hilton was asked by his host (Johnny Carson) whether he had a "message" for the American people.
With great gravity, Hilton paused momentarily before turning to the camera. "Please," he pleaded, "put the shower curtain inside the tub!"
[These are sometimes said to have been his last words.]
[Trivia: Hilton, born in San Antonio, New Mexico, began his career renting out rooms in his adobe home.]
Hilton, Conrad (1887-1979) American hotelier and philanthropist, founder of the hotel chain which bears his name and of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, great-grandfather of Paris Hilton
