Kelsey Grammer. Fox

Dotson Rader has an excellent article in Parade or Kelsey Grammer. While I enjoy his acting, I did not know much about his past. Looks as if he has had a lot of challenges. He says. “I was addicted to danger and dangerous girls, and it took me to things that were very destructive for me.”

Thankfully, he was always in monogamous relationships, though he did go through several women before he met his now wife, Camille Donatacci at a dinner with his agent in New York. “It was love at first sight,” Kelsey Grammer says, “but I was scared. I’d been with girls before who I believed were right for me, and it turned out I was wrong. I was afraid of making another mistake, another failed marriage. But, corny as it sounds, I think Camille saw in me a great guy who needed love. It takes a lot of courage to love. Isn’t that why we’re here — to love, regardless of the cost? She decided to give me love.”

Kelsey entered the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, California, and has been sober since then. What a great story!
