Conrad Nicholson "Nicky" Hilton, Jr. (July 6, 1926 – March 31, 1969) was an American socialite, hotel heir, businessman, and TWA director. He was one of the sons of Conrad Hilton (founder of Hilton Hotels).

Early life

Hilton was born in Dallas, Texas. His father was Conrad Nicholson Hilton, founder of Hilton Hotels, and his mother was Mary Adelaide Barron. Hilton grew up with three siblings: William Barron Hilton, Eric Michael Hilton, and Constance Francesca Hilton. He was the great-uncle of Paris and Nicky Hilton, the latter sharing his nickname. He attended New Mexico Military Institute.

Personal life

Zsa Zsa Gabor, the second wife of Hilton's father Conrad Hilton claims that during their marriage she was having sexual relations with her stepson Conrad Hilton, Jr.

Hilton was married to Elizabeth Taylor from 1950 to 1951. Taylor stated that she was a virgin when she married and that Hilton was a heavy drinker who gambled and beat her. After only 6 months, she filed for divorce.

He later dated Natalie Wood and Joan Collins. In 1958, Hilton married oil heiress Patricia "Trish" McClintock. They had two children: Conrad Nicholson Hilton III and Michael Otis Hilton.

Hilton died of a heart attack at the age of 42, brought about by many years of heavy alcohol consumption. He is interred in Holy Cross Cemetery, Culver City.[1]
