Growing up with Jack and calling him Uncle, we only spoke of his son once, that conversation will remain in my heart, but I tried to be his daughter. I have cards from him and Aunt Marie and a few say daughter on them. So many wonderful memories. He would tell me I was his best kept secret and I was only on the set one time.
@@gingerchaney8404 - Hi Ginger. Thanks for sharing about that. Just a couple of things I wonder: 1) Do you happen to remember what he said about his son? 2) Did you happen to ask where his son was, as in, why his son wasn't around or why he didn't see him? Thanks.
Growing up in Oahu and I watched Hawaii 5-0 when I was 9 years old!! it was my favorite show!! Now at 63 and living in The mainland I still enjoy watching Hawaii 5-0 and still recognize the landscape in each episode!! RIP Jack...🙏🥲❤️
I met Chuck Connors and he was the most disgusting man I ever met. He tried to fondle all the women within reach and insulted them if they turned down an invitation to his hotel room.
Theresa Chiorazzi:-- You echoed my sentiment within your comment. Who ever else made our hearts sing during the Opening Credits -- and that wry smile. He is/was a superlative actor with an all-encompassing telegenic acumen. I simply Adored him.
The story that I heard was that Jack Lord had gotten married but that it had broken down and he'd divorced his wife but didn't know she was pregnant. She then sent him a letter telling him that the son he didn't know about had died.
If that story is true, who is the little boy Jack is holding on the photo shown here? Oh! Sherry Gangewere cleared that up for me! That was not his son but a child that played his nephew on "Hawaii 5-0". Thank you Sherry for clearing that up for me!
@@carolynking1625 that baby was a child that played his nephew on Hawaii 5-0. It was a very sad episode and if you see it Mr Lord has a very emotional scene that you wonder that his real sadness on the loss of his own child wasn’t involved in the scene
Perhaps or maybe this whole “having a son” was fiction, just as it was in Raymond Burr’s case. I don’t believe that Lord would ever NOT see his only child. He never struck me as that kind of man.
With great fame there is usually huge misfortunes and Jack Lord wasn't the first or last one..I can think of many other Stars like this but Elvis and MJ were 2 anothers who deserved a much better deal in the end.
... Very sad indeed about you loss ... Jack Lord, I admired and loved you, I'm not here to judge, but this story they're telling has a lot of holes in it, so all I can and will say about the matter is ... i'm sorry that things ended that way for you, it must have been very painful, there was always that sad/look on you yes there was!! ... but who knows, only you!!! may you R.I.E.P 😢
All these decades, I had thought it was code for "police" from where we get the slang term "5-0"...sounds silly now that you've explained the (should have been) obvious reason! Thanks!
@@FactsVerse I can't really say. Haven't seen all of them but who can't get "Book em Dano" out of their heads and that lead in song at the beginning. I used to play that one on the drums!!! God Bless, take good care. Oh, I hoping Me TV picks this up some time soon. I watch all the old show on it. "Leave it to Beaver", "My three sons", Gun Smoke", "The Rifleman" etc
Wow! I never even thought of that. So caught up in the theme song and pictures on the beginning of the show and the commercials before this show started, I never gave it a thought why they would use that number! This is the most surprising part of the video to me. Thank you for this information.
I actually worked for his late wife Marie Ryan, in the early 1990s (she went by that name). They were private people so, we don't know the real reason, he didn't see his son much. He had already passed on, by the time I got there, but it was so interesting to have a look at what interested him. He was good at art(was very good at abstract art) and loved to ride his horse, along the beach. They had a huge apartment, beachside on Diamond head. He became more introverted in later years, I've heard.
When he was in his early days he made a video for Williamsburg Va. He made you feel like you were in 1776. They show this video at the visitor center. it should be seen on at least your first visit. They have a video on the beginning of the restoration. Too long and too boring. Jack's video is so good I see it each time we go there.(live close). At last I bought my own copy. If you like him, you will love the video.
Interesting, thank you for sharing this information. We'll search for this video of Jack Lord. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Hope you can find it. They can be bought at their visitors center. I was not a big fan until I saw him in that video. Fear they may change it as that happens from time to time. His fans would love seeing it.
I still love the TV crime series "Hawaii 5-0" bc. of the main actors Jack Lord and James McArthur. They were brilliant together, good old quality, they knew their business. I didn't know, that Jack Lord had a child, so sad, that he saw his youngster just 1-time. I guess, the death of his son took some serious pain in his later life. May he R.I.P.
@@FactsVerse Truly spoken, I've a few favorites, one of them is called "The Cop & the Hippie". "Steve" is so sensual in one scene. Could have been me, in younger years? Oh well, I was too far away, living in Europe 😂🇪🇺.
Yes it is. I would say that the worst thing about getting older is we witness our parents and siblings die ,one by one. I lost my mother in 2020 at the age of 88 and recently my older brother passed at the age of 67
I want to say my true feelings in my ❤️. I was born 7/12/1963 I've seen him acting in "HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL" PLUS EVERY EPISODE OF "HAWAII FIVE-0" OVER AND OVER YOUNG THE. NOW 59 WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF STEVE. HE WAS THE MAN, HIS NEW LIFE BEGINNING WAS SUCH A TRIBUTE FOR HIM. MY 🙏 PRAYERS FOR IS SON AND WIFE . I have other words in a different language just don't know how to spell. MAGARET 🇺🇸🙏🕯️❤️🙏🕯️❤️
I wish theeir were documentaries/interviews featured of this incredible man. I thought he was formidable as Steve Mcgarrett and enjoyed watching him as a kid. It had been in recent years i read he was a difficult and horrible to work with. He was also a very private person and not a lot has been known about him. I was kinda disappointed that you have made just an 8 min video on him as i thought it was worth more.
Might be hard to do more than eight minutes, as private as he was. It seems former classmates and friends of his son might give some more information on what he was like. Was he sick a lot? Any of them notice when he wasn't in school anymore or quit going around with his friends anymore and hear what took his life?
@Tee Smith He wasn't difficult and horrible to work with. The people he worked with were often difficult, and when they didn't do their jobs, Jack had to be harsh with them since they weren't listening otherwise.
Was a huge Hawaii Five-O fan and Steve McGarret for me was the cat's ass. Loved that character! hence the reason I'm a Jack Lord fan. Loved him in the Bond Movie he was in.
Surprised Jack Lord had a son because he rarely spoke about his past to print n broadcast media. Kudos for interesting n informative vid. Looking forward to ur next one. Aloha from Hawaii
Thanks for this , a proper hour long documentary is warranted for this handsome legend . Another theory about the boy is sacrifice , sometimes in Hollywood ....
I found this video to be interesting and sad .😥😭 I can not believe that Jack Lord' s first wife, who was she again ? Cicely Anne Willard would not let Jack Lord spend time with his son , Jack . She had no right to do that to Jack Lord when Jack Lord have every right to spend time with his son. Just who did Cicely Anne Willard think that she was when she refused to let Jack Lord have any relationship with their son ? I know for a fact that if I had given birth to Jack Lord ' s baby, I never would have been so nasty like this. I believe that a father and a mother should share a baby together. Not do it half way. Seriously if I had given birth to Jack Lord ' s baby , I would share our bundle of joy ! I was really surprised that Jack and Marie Lord almost had a child of their own , and I was sad that Marie Lord had a miscarriage. Still Jack and Marie Lord remained married for 44 years, that is really amazing ! Jack and Marie Lord were a wonderful couple, and I hope that they are still together in Heaven ! Thank you for sharing this video with me . Keep up the good work !
@@FactsVerse i like all diversified video about lot of thing , . For inform you. i see this Jack Lord video during a search about 007 actors. He should be himself a great James Bond .im sure .. ( even if he lf donts looks 100% Brittish ... he have face type a few like Uzbek ir Turkmen .... just a touch . And not before 40 yo.. ) . Now is not really problem. Daniel Craig .Look alike Dannish... Timoty Daltorn and Pierce Brosnan are Irish ,but looks like Mossad Agents !! SEAN the better looks 100% scottish. Lonely mr Moore and Lazenby had really pure english loook !!
I sorry I don't feel as though Jack Lords life was so tragic. Lose your Mother one year due to colon cancer at age 49, your son the next year, your father was an invalid since age 42. You best friend OD's, your 2 Uncle's & your father dies & you get diagnosed with MS all in a 2 year period. But remember: if you think you have it rough you don't have to look far to see someone else who has it rougher than you do.
Smart man that paid his dues in Hollywood in parts, 47 years old lands the Hawaii 5-0 gig...spent the rest of his life there...I can just picture Hollywood production people asking him about possible roles after 1968 "Hey, Jack ...there's a part we think you would be great in, but you'll have to come to the lower 48 for filming"...Jack's reply "Nah, I'm good..but thanks though... lol".
still a huge fan of jack lord and hawaii5-0 best series ever they will never be anything thing better than jack lord and the real hawaii5-0 there is only one
Many people lose a child, even an only child. It doesn't destroy their lives. I think Jack Lord and his wife were very happy, especially in Hawaii with the twelve year success of Hawaii Five-O. (The "5O" part, btw, is a salute to Hawaii's statehood, becoming the 50th state in the Union. As most people know, the tv series and showcasing airlines, hotels, Pacific ocean, Hawaiian Islanders, sunshine, palm trees, volcanoes, and floral shirts, did more for Hawaiian tourism than any govt PR or ad campaign could have. Jack Lord prob wanted to be a movie star, not a tv star, maybe in James Bond action/adventure type movies, but it wasn't meant to be. Looks-wise he could have been a body-double for JFK.
He spent the rest of his life in Honolulu after 1968. I don't remember hearing any stories of him feeling oppressed in Hawaii. No stories of "Poor me...get me out of this hell!" ...no, no stories like that.
Was on New Zealand TV at 11pm, used to sit in the dark as I did not want my parents to know. Loved the series but found Jack Lord’s acting very wooden. May he Rest In Peace!
@Tineke Wemyss Then you weren't paying much attention. Wooden means not showing any emotions, making any facial expressions, or changing in vocal tones. Are you saying he never did any of that? He was playing a serious character whose environment and situation didn't change much from week to week. He was a detective who was dealing with crime all the time, so he had to be serious. That's not the same as being wooden. He did laugh and smile at times, and there was an emotional scene in one episode where he cries after hearing that his nephew died. Did you miss that?
The baby Lord is shown holding in the still frame played McGarrett's nephew Tommy (son of his sister Mary Ann Whalen) in the Season 1 two-part episode "Once Upon a Time." Ironically, the fictional child died of an illness in this episode, leukemia or something similar.
You didn't mention Jack's role as "Stoney Burke" in Stoney Burke, the contemporary Western tv series broadcast on ABC from October 1, 1962, until May 20, 1963.
Today, the real version of the events behind Lord's son's demise is that he died from Hepatitis Virus on August 24, 1955, when he was only months away from celebrating his thirteen birthday.
I am surprised with all the resources available today, detectives, investigative journalists, internet, web sites, more that far more accurate facts would be known about Jack Lord's son's death (and life).
You saw your son once? I am sure he did not feel too successful; as his life went on and by the time he met with his demise. It’s ashame. No matter what the circumstances were between his first wife and the child’s mother. That was your flesh and blood. You saw the workers at the cafeteria, your co-stars and your barber more than you saw your son. It’s a very sad commentary.
At least Alex O'Loughlin, who played McGarrett in the reboot, has always been a part of his eldest son Saxon's life, despite not being with the boy's mother.
@Jo Ann Kelly This information that Jack saw his son only once has been on the internet for years and no source is cited. Movie magazines ran the story. The boy died sometime in the early fifties. Jack was divorced from the boy's mother at the time he died. Whether he saw him often or not is not known for certain. And Jack died years ago, so why are you addressing the comment to him as though he can read it?
@@sharonjensen3016 And so what? This video is not stating any facts, only rumors that were on the internet for years. Whether Jack had a relationship with his son or not cannot be confirmed or denied. Jack was in the Merchant Marines when the boy was born and was away at sea supporting him, which is why couldn't see him too often.
I have just about every article I can find about Jack and never read anything about him saying the earth was overpopulated, Marie was 15 years older than him making her 44 when she married and they both stated they didn't want children, altho Marie did miscarry one time (I have this from a reliable source) and after that would be too old to try again. They loved children and interacted in many children's charities and I run a group where many members met Jack as children and said he always had time for them.
little trivia. He was offered part of Captain Kirk for the Star Trek . He was offered part after Lloyd Bridges said no way. Lord was more in line with original Captain Pike. He was rejected because he wanted percentage and royalties. Which Roddenberry said no way . That he never sell out his ownership Which only he did to DESILU. Which GR regretted. I knew all about Lord. He was a very talented Artist by the way
The fan base for years went on and on about how a new movie with all the originals was in the works. What they didn't seem to know was that Lord had started showing signs of Alzheimer's even before the series ended, so there was no way that years later he could have participated.
Jack Lord’s son died in 1950 from the age of 12 from leukemia according to the death certificate his ex-wife sent him to notify him of his only child’s death. Lord had only seen his son once prior to his death.
Jack's son died in 1955. Author Sylvia Lynch confirmed this in her book, Jack Lord, an Acting Life. There is no confirmation anywhere of how many times Jack saw him or didn't.
About 68 years ago Jean Lord was living with us in white plains ny. I was very young and my mother just told that she was married to someone very famous. Recently I spoke to my brother and he said she was married to Jack Lord. Has anyone else heard of this name and if this could’ve been possible that she had been married to Jack Lord.?
Could've had a recurring role in the James Bond films but asked for too much money. Not real popular among his co-stars on 5-O. A perfectionist and huge Elvis fan.
He didn't ask for too much money. The Bond people wanted him to sign an exclusive contract which would have kept him from doing other work, so he walked.

@A J the conversation I had with my Uncle must remain confidential. I hope you understand. Jack was a very gentle and loving gentleman.
What really happened in terms of Jack's relationship with his son is unknown. The movie magazines made up a lot of stuff.
Growing up in Oahu and I watched Hawaii 5-0 when I was 9 years old!! it was my favorite show!! Now at 63 and living in The mainland I still enjoy watching Hawaii 5-0 and still recognize the landscape in each episode!! RIP Jack...🙏🥲❤️
Off subject here,...but,...Jack Lord , Robert Conrad,..and Mike Connors in their heyday surely never had a problem getting a date.
I met Chuck Connors and he was the most disgusting man I ever met. He tried to fondle all the women within reach and insulted them if they turned down an invitation to his hotel room.
Jack Lord was a magnificent talented actor. He was amazing on Hawaii 5-0. Respects to Jack Lord.
Sad about Jack's private life. Nothing seemed to work out, especially the passing of Jack Jnr.

it's funny to see Jack Lord in some of the early westerns that were so popular. He played a good role of a bad Man on a episode of RAWHIDE.
He played in a western as a bad guy with Gary Cooper! I think Julie London was in it.
With great fame there is usually huge misfortunes and Jack Lord wasn't the first or last one..I can think of many other Stars like this but Elvis and MJ were 2 anothers who deserved a much better deal in the end.

The Bond film was " Dr. No" in 1962.
Jack Lord played the first Felix Leiter.
Marie was also a lot older than Jack, about 13 or 14 years older and that was probably another reason why they never had a child.
It was sad Jack saw his son so little and never had any other children.
Please give my condolences to the family and friends and may they rest in peace 🕊️

@@FactsVerse i like all diversified video about lot of thing , . For inform you. i see this Jack Lord video during a search about 007 actors. He should be himself a great James Bond .im sure .. ( even if he lf donts looks 100% Brittish ... he have face type a few like Uzbek ir Turkmen .... just a touch . And not before 40 yo.. ) . Now is not really problem. Daniel Craig .Look alike Dannish... Timoty Daltorn and Pierce Brosnan are Irish ,but looks like Mossad Agents !! SEAN the better looks 100% scottish. Lonely mr Moore and Lazenby had really pure english loook !!
I sorry I don't feel as though Jack Lords life was so tragic. Lose your Mother one year due to colon cancer at age 49, your son the next year, your father was an invalid since age 42. You best friend OD's, your 2 Uncle's & your father dies & you get diagnosed with MS all in a 2 year period. But remember: if you think you have it rough you don't have to look far to see someone else who has it rougher than you do.
Sad. Rip greatness Amen 🙏.
Smart man that paid his dues in Hollywood in parts, 47 years old lands the Hawaii 5-0 gig...spent the rest of his life there...I can just picture Hollywood production people asking him about possible roles after 1968 "Hey, Jack ...there's a part we think you would be great in, but you'll have to come to the lower 48 for filming"...Jack's reply "Nah, I'm good..but thanks though... lol".
He was a favorite of mines. I am so sorry to hear about his son. I loved Hawaii five-O
Prayers
still a huge fan of jack lord and hawaii5-0 best series ever they will never be anything thing better than jack lord and the real hawaii5-0 there is only one
Glad to know that you're a fan of Jack! Which episode of Hawaii Five-O is your favorite?
No mention of Stoney Burke? That's the show that made him famous, altho 5-0 was a bigger hit.
That was my thought, too! I was reading the comments to see if anyone else remembered Stoney Burke.
1 show I never missed while growing up
My most shocking moment was finding out that he had a son that passed away & also him not visiting his son. Smh so sad
Sadder than sad......he could've and should've been in his son's life.😢😮
Many people lose a child, even an only child. It doesn't destroy their lives. I think Jack Lord and his wife were very happy, especially in Hawaii with the twelve year success of Hawaii Five-O. (The "5O" part, btw, is a salute to Hawaii's statehood, becoming the 50th state in the Union. As most people know, the tv series and showcasing airlines, hotels, Pacific ocean, Hawaiian Islanders, sunshine, palm trees, volcanoes, and floral shirts, did more for Hawaiian tourism than any govt PR or ad campaign could have. Jack Lord prob wanted to be a movie star, not a tv star, maybe in James Bond action/adventure type movies, but it wasn't meant to be. Looks-wise he could have been a body-double for JFK.
No..he wanted to be a painter and he studied that in college. He did tv
Only to get his name known so people would buy his paintings.
He spent the rest of his life in Honolulu after 1968. I don't remember hearing any stories of him feeling oppressed in Hawaii. No stories of "Poor me...get me out of this hell!" ...no, no stories like that.
Yes always thought he could have played JFK
Good video. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of video would you like to see?
@@FactsVerse more actors actress s,etc
I was sad to know he only had one son and wasn't around much.
Was on New Zealand TV at 11pm, used to sit in the dark as I did not want my parents to know. Loved the series but found Jack Lord’s acting very wooden. May he Rest In Peace!
@Tineke Wemyss Then you weren't paying much attention. Wooden means not showing any emotions, making any facial expressions, or changing in vocal tones. Are you saying he never did any of that? He was playing a serious character whose environment and situation didn't change much from week to week. He was a detective who was dealing with crime all the time, so he had to be serious. That's not the same as being wooden. He did laugh and smile at times, and there was an emotional scene in one episode where he cries after hearing that his nephew died. Did you miss that?
Jack Lord guest starred in the first opening debut series on CBS Have Gun Wiill Travel starring Richard Boone who also loved the Hawaiian Islands.
I love Jack, Hawaii five-o was amazing!
I almost thought the thumb nail was William Shatner. But he would’ve made an excellent member of star fleet.
Sending prayers 🙏❤️🙏 great actor ❤️ so 😭 missed🙏🙏🙏💕😎
Thank you for your beautiful message to Jack! What is your favorite role of him?
His original name was John Ryan
Deepest condolences Jack sorry you had to go through such a tragedy 🦋🌈🌹
Thank you for your message to Jack Lord. May he find peace. Be safe and have a great day ♥
@@FactsVerse And you🦋
😢never missed the show loved jack
JACK LORD IS STEVE MCGARRETT
The baby Lord is shown holding in the still frame played McGarrett's nephew Tommy (son of his sister Mary Ann Whalen) in the Season 1 two-part episode "Once Upon a Time." Ironically, the fictional child died of an illness in this episode, leukemia or something similar.
You didn't mention his show Stoney Burke.
You didn't mention Jack's role as "Stoney Burke" in Stoney Burke, the contemporary Western tv series broadcast on ABC from October 1, 1962, until May 20, 1963.
Today, the real version of the events behind Lord's son's demise is that he died from Hepatitis Virus on August 24, 1955, when he was only months away from celebrating his thirteen birthday.
He always had sad eyes😪
I am surprised with all the resources available today, detectives, investigative journalists, internet, web sites, more that far more accurate facts would be known about Jack Lord's son's death (and life).
You saw your son once? I am sure he did not feel too successful; as his life went on and by the time he met with his demise. It’s ashame. No matter what the circumstances were between his first wife and the child’s mother. That was your flesh and blood. You saw the workers at the cafeteria, your co-stars and your barber more than you saw your son.
It’s a very sad commentary.
At least Alex O'Loughlin, who played McGarrett in the reboot, has always been a part of his eldest son Saxon's life, despite not being with the boy's mother.
his son died without him he knowing he had a son. I was adopted and I understand. I grew up calling Jack my uncle.
@Jo Ann Kelly This information that Jack saw his son only once has been on the internet for years and no source is cited. Movie magazines ran the story. The boy died sometime in the early fifties. Jack was divorced from the boy's mother at the time he died. Whether he saw him often or not is not known for certain. And Jack died years ago, so why are you addressing the comment to him as though he can read it?
@@sharonjensen3016 And so what? This video is not stating any facts, only rumors that were on the internet for years. Whether Jack had a relationship with his son or not cannot be confirmed or denied. Jack was in the Merchant Marines when the boy was born and was away at sea supporting him, which is why couldn't see him too often.
@@vrinda5303 thank you. No one needs to even discuss this. Jack was a great person and uncle. People need to let it go.
Book em Dano
I remember hearing that he didn't want any children because he felt the earth was over populated. So i was surprised to hear about this.
I have just about every article I can find about Jack and never read anything about him saying the earth was overpopulated, Marie was 15 years older than him making her 44 when she married and they both stated they didn't want children, altho Marie did miscarry one time (I have this from a reliable source) and after that would be too old to try again. They loved children and interacted in many children's charities and I run a group where many members met Jack as children and said he always had time for them.
Surprising to hear Jack Lord had a son from Adelaide Australia
little trivia. He was offered part of Captain Kirk for the Star Trek . He was offered part after Lloyd Bridges said no way. Lord was more in line with original Captain Pike. He was rejected because he wanted percentage and royalties. Which Roddenberry said no way . That he never sell out his ownership Which only he did to DESILU. Which GR regretted. I knew all about Lord. He was a very talented Artist by the way
I think he’d make an awesome Starship Captain….
If Star Trek was more of an anthology series he could have been the captain of another Starship….
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
@@robertdragoff6909 I thought he would had made a great captain too
Two faves were both 2 hour shows with Wo Fat - The Ninety Second War and Murder: Eyes Only.
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
I liked jack as Stoney Burke
Thank you Jack Lord For You Service And Bravery For The 🌎. May You Rest In Eternity Forever God Bless 🙏💖
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Jack. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
The fan base for years went on and on about how a new movie with all the originals was in the works. What they didn't seem to know was that Lord had started showing signs of Alzheimer's even before the series ended, so there was no way that years later he could have participated.
Jack Lord handsome guy
Jack ,Tall and Handsome.I was in love with him when I was young,marry a Tall Handsoms man.He pass away 5 year ago,miss him ever day.
Very sad.
I like Jack in his Navy pilot role in the 1955 movie THE COURT MARTIAL OF BILLY MITCHELL starring Gary Cooper.
Where did Stoney Burke fit into the picture?
Jack Lord’s son died in 1950 from the age of 12 from leukemia according to the death certificate his ex-wife sent him to notify him of his only child’s death. Lord had only seen his son once prior to his death.
Jack's son died in 1955. Author Sylvia Lynch confirmed this in her book, Jack Lord, an Acting Life. There is no confirmation anywhere of how many times Jack saw him or didn't.
I didn't remember him to well because I was born in the 70 s but I didn't know that he was married nor did I know that his son died .
Great story, WOW
So sad about his son
Us too! May Jack and his son find peace 🙏
You forgot about Stoney Burke!!!
I was going to mention that, but there were some pictures of him in cowboy gear.
@@QueenBee-gx4rp That TV series ran 1962 -1963. Lot's of big names were on that show.
What a gorgeous man.
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!

Lord, oh Lord, what's happened to Jack?
A great actor.

@@FactsVerse I look forward to it.👍
About 68 years ago Jean Lord was living with us in white plains ny. I was very young and my mother just told that she was married to someone very famous. Recently I spoke to my brother and he said she was married to Jack Lord. Has anyone else heard of this name and if this could’ve been possible that she had been married to Jack Lord.?
They are wrong. Jack's wife's name was Marie. Her real name was Mary. This Jean Lord that you are talking about was never married to him.
Very sad story of his life😢❤
So true! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Could've had a recurring role in the James Bond films but asked for too much money. Not real popular among his co-stars on 5-O. A perfectionist and huge Elvis fan.
Oh, that explains his hair…after Elvis!
@@gracie3174 exactly
So he was a huge Elvis fan? Hmm, ok I can understand exactly why. :)
He didn't ask for too much money. The Bond people wanted him to sign an exclusive contract which would have kept him from doing other work, so he walked.
The most surprising was he only saw his son once ?
He could have been James Bond he at least had that look.
