Rupert Murdoch ends engagement over Modesto widow’s ‘evangelical views’

It looks like 92-year-old Rupert Murdoch isn’t ready just yet to take another chance on love — at least not with Ann Lesley Smith, the 66-year-old former dental hygienist-turned-conservative radio host, previously married to older and much wealthier husbands from Northern California.

Citing sources close to the Fox Corporation chairman, Vanity Fair reported Tuesday that Murdoch and Smith had abruptly called off their engagement, which was announced last month on the front page of his New York Post.
