Steve Bing was a complicated, private man, but his suicide came as a shock, bringing a tragic, public end to the enigmatic film producer and philanthropist at age 55.

While Bing’s acts of largesse were boundless, most of them were little known.Twenty years ago, when Jerry Lee Lewis stumbled into hard times, Bing brought in doctors and accountants and straightened out his life.“I want the world to know what kind of wonderful human being he was,” said Judith. “He’s always been there no matter what.”

“I’ll tell you something, the Steve Bing that I knew was a one-of-a-kind in your lifetime,” he said. “I never knew anybody like that.”When Keltner couldn’t afford to keep his son in a rehab facility, Bing took over the payments. “He relished helping you and you could not say thank you. ... It’s just heartbreaking.”

At 18, Bing inherited a $600-million fortune from his grandfather. He dropped out of Stanford during his junior year to pursue filmmaking, with mixed results. He co-wrote the 1984 Chuck Norris movie “Missing in Action” and directed the straight-to-video thriller “Every Breath,” starring Judd Nelson.

In one, he sued British actress Elizabeth Hurley to force a DNA test after she said he was the father of her son, Damian. An English court revealed that Bing indeed was the baby’s father.In the other case, Bing sued Kirk Kerkorian for invasion of privacy after the billionaire’s private eye — the infamous Anthony Pellicano — took Bing’s dental floss out of his trash can.

Her aunt, Carrie Mitchum, a friend of Bing’s, introduced the couple. The relationship with Allexanne, an actress and an artist who was 25 years younger than Bing, took many by surprise, not because of the age difference but because Bing had found true love.

He must have known something about Pedowood

It's never a shock when someone close to the Clintons commits suicide.

Wasn't he connect to the Clinton's? ClintonBodyCount. Press is already reporting Ghislaine Maxwell's suicide next week

'Suicide.' There, fixed it.

Very sad

spiritutecno Life imitating art.

He got suicided too, huh

Clinton body count continues.

Suicides are dime a dozen in the twisted world of politics!

Dude was a pedo. Tick tock.

Epstein island 🌴 26x 😂

What did he have on the Clintons?

I think he was murdered. It’s all connected to Maxwell and Epstein. No way this is a coincidence.

Kind-hearted, tortured soul. May he find the peace that eluded him in life.

ClintonBodyCount

It's dangerous to be a friend of the Clintons.

I wrote this after reading about a boy in San Diego who became the object of bullying and the school, which knew, did nothing to stop it. I channeled Robin Williams.

He knew they were coming for him.
