Hedges, lawyer and archaeologist, succumbs to melanoma at 57

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

George Hedges, the Hollywood lawyer to celebrities such as Mel Gibson and Simon Cowell who became a celebrity himself for his discoveries of the fabled ancient city of Ubar and the frankincense trade route in Yemen, died Tuesday at his home in South Pasadena. He was 57 and had been battling melanoma for seven months.

Hedges earned the title of "California Super Lawyer" from Los Angeles magazine and made the Hollywood Reporter's Top 100 Power Lawyers list. In 1988, he founded his own firm, Hedges & Caldwell, and remained there until 1998, when he was recruited by Quinn Emanuel to raise its profile in Hollywood.
