THE INTERVIEW
With a name like Armand “Armie” Douglas Hammer one can
understand the need to isolate oneself from the endless jokes
about baking soda and other products of Arm and Hammer,
to which he is circumspectly related. Armie Hammer is the
namesake of his great-grandfather, Armand Hammer, an
American immigrant businessman from Russia, whose primary
business was Occidental Petroleum. The senior Armand
Hammer’s history in America involves a complicated family story
complete with intrigue, international politics, philanthropy, art
and an accumulated wealth of about 200 million U.S. at the time
of his passing in 1990.
