Life Imitates Art

My first wife, Renee, died in 1995. In the 1980’s she played a very small part in the Neil Simon movie, The Slugger’s Wife, starring Michael O’Keefe and Rebecca de Mornay. Renee was one of the baseball player’s wives and sat in the box next to de Mornay; she maybe got 15 seconds of screen time.

In the movie Michael O’Keefe plays a baseball star who marries a singer named Debbie-which happens to describe my second wife.

Just a little coincidence.

You can hear wife number 2 sing at the Shamrock during Bragg Jam on July 25 at 10:00 AM with the Back Spasms featuring her eternally juvenile husband on guitar. Joey Stuckey, Jimmy Gaudet and the rest of the band will be there and we have added a great saxophone player.
