Michael Armand Hammer, the father of actor Armie Hammer and American businessman Michael Armand Hammer, passed away at the age of 67 after a lengthy battle with cancer. The businessman reportedly died on Sunday, per TMZ. His first wife, Dru Ann Mobley, and their two sons, Armie and Viktor, and his current wife, Misty Millward, all survive him. Prior to taking over Occidental Petroleum, the chemical industry company his grandfather Armand Hammer ran for decades, Michael worked for a New York City investment banking firm.
The docuseries also explored the family’s controversies, such as Michael’s father’s alleged murder in 1955 and the FBI’s investigation into forgeries at the Knoedler Gallery.
Michael was a member of the Board of Directors and had risen to the position of Vice President at Occidental Petroleum in the 1980s. He also became the CEO of Hammer Productions, Hammer Galleries, and the Hammer International Foundation, which had previously been run by Armand Hammer. The businessman is laid to rest at a mausoleum in the Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park, along with other members of the family.
The Hammer family had recently been in talks after being featured in the Discovery+ docuseries, “House of Hammer.” It was set to investigate the multiple scandals involving the family.
Meanwhile, Armie Hammer is currently focusing on himself after he left the Florida program where he was seeking a treatment facility for drug, alcohol and sex issues. He checked into the facility in June 2021 and completed his treatment in December of the same year. People magazine reported that a source mentioned, “[Armie’s] main priority is to be sober and stay sober for the kids and [wife] Elizabeth [Chambers].” The actor shares two children with American TV Personality Elizabeth Chambers, daughter Harper Grace, 7, and son Ford Armand Douglas, 5.
