I just read the AP story about Johnny Grant, and apparently he was a lifelong bachelor. I seem to recall Ent saying that JJ's wife was roommates with Timmy, and that's how he knew the secret, or something to that effect, so I don't think this was him.
johnny grant was the honorary mayor of hollywood, it seems like forever. to tell you the truth, i don't even know how he BECAME famous, it just seems like he's always been there. did a lot of traveling doing shows for the troops like bob hope did, and was at every hollywood event since i can remember. just a nice all-around guy.
Please accept my condolences for the loss of your friend. :-(
ReplyDeletewow. goodbye old Hollywood...
ReplyDelete*Hugs Ent. I hope this wasn't your friend with all the cool stories.
ReplyDeleteWAIT WAIT WAIT - IS THAT JJ??
ReplyDeleteI had the fortune to witness his humor at a star dedication a few months ago...he was a real class act. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
ReplyDeleteJanele, I thought the same thing.
ReplyDeleteaww RIP Monsieur Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteIt's gotta be, Twisted. Remember, we all thought it was Mickey Rooney and there's Mickey right next to him. hmm...

ooo...buzzkill. :-(
Thanks, Liz. At least we didn't go off on a wild goose chase for long.
ReplyDeleteWow. I'm lame.
ReplyDeleteSee that dark haired woman over on the far right hand side of the picture?
I think that's the woman who plays/played Katherine Chancellor's maid on Young and the Restless.
I used to watch that show when I was in high school (over 10 years ago).
What's her name?
Ah. Love Google.
Her name is Kate Linder. Even after years playing that recurring maid character on Y&R, she still worked as a flight attendant.
Kara, I used to watch Y & R, too. Here's a pic of Kate Linder that looks very much like the woman in the pic:
