For annie. I read they were married for 12 years. I think he left her for Charo. Not positive.
He was married 4 times and my guess is he was already in a relationship with the new wife by the look of the dates he remarried almost as soon as he divorced a wife except with Abbe and Charo there was a two year gap. Charo(7 August 1966 - 17 April 1978) (divorced)Abbe Lane(5 May 1952 - 3 June 1964) (divorced)Lorraine Allen(15 October 1947 - 28 April 1952) (divorced)Carmen Castillo(17 October 1929 - 10 October 1947) (divorced)
Maybe the gap occurred because she was truly under marriage age, if born in 1951. I know they were different times, but ... However old she really was, he was born in 1900 and hence this teenager married a 66 year old man.
Quite often actresses in the 1940's and maybe early 50's lied abou their ages to get into Hollywood.
If Charo was actually born in 1941, she is my hubby's age, which will be 76 at the end of the month. He doesn't look or act 76....thankfully!!! I'm too young to be married to an "OLD GUY"!!!!!
. Helps that his hair grayed early (he was a red head), so he's looked pretty much the same for 25 years!!! LOL

Hi Jet! What are you doing up? I guess you need some child free time??
So the guy has 'faithfulness' tattooed across his chest. It sounds clunky for a tattoo. Why not 'fidelity'?
Our expert April needs to have a look.

Good morning all!
It's been quite a while since I've logged on - too much real life going on. I haven't really been following DWTS very much for the past couple of seasons. I've watched the first couple of episodes with my daughter and then just lose interest. We did enjoy a few of Laurie and Val's dances last season. She was cute as a button! I see both C brothers as well as Peta will be back this season. Honestly Maks just doesn't do it for me anymore! 😜 I'll still probably tune in for the first few episodes though. I'm hoping everyone has been well in my abscence. April, I think of you and your daughter quite often. I hope she has continued to improve. I still keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. It's been a loooong couple of years here in TN. When I first "met" all of you we were getting ready to transfer here from CO. Let's just say it's been an interesting ride! 😏 In late May (when school finishes) our family will be transferring to MN!! Which actually THRILLS me! 😊 Turns out we are truly Yankees at heart (go figure!). 😉 I was born in Minneapolis, and we still have lots of family - grandparents, siblings, uncles, aunts, and extended - in the MN/ND area. Will be nice to be by family again - I think! 😜 Anyway, just wanted to check in with you so nobody assumes the worst. I'm so happy to see this group is still together. Seems you all have grown and stayed quite close. 😊❤️ I will try to pop in a few times during this season. In the meantime, take care! I hope everyone has a beautiful day! 😘Hi Tennessee! Good to hear from you.
I think a number of us share your sentiment re. Maks, but he/they have long ceased to be the 'glue' that brought us and holds us together. We have 'evolved' as my little guy would put it. Hope you keep on stopping by. I would be interested to see the show that Derek is going to be involved in and some others are too. Perhaps you find that more appealing as well and continue to be a regular on that interest.
HELLO, TENNESEE!! Very nice to know that your world has been crazy busy and that you and your family are all thriving! We all hope you will check in on occasion and say *hi* when you can. Amazing that you are "on the road again" to a new home soon!! Keep us posted as you are able to. We do love * seeing* the sisters who don't post often.

DWTS: Season 24 Cast
We finally had the Season 24 Cast reveal today!!!
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the Stars, the Pros and the Pairings!!
Who are you most excited about? Who did you say “who’s that?” about?
BONNER BOLTON (pro partner Sharna Burgess) - In the past 14 months, Bonner Bolton has gone from sitting atop the standings as the world’s No. 1 bull rider to being paralyzed to becoming an international fashion model. Now he’s taking on yet another challenge with pro partner Sharna Burgess on Season 24 of Dancing with the Stars.
CHARO (pro partner Keo Motsepe) - Only a few people in show business are recognized by just one name. Charo is one of those people. A virtuoso guitarist, singer, composer, actress and comedienne, Charo is an American music and pop culture icon and she’s back in the spotlight once more with pro partner Keo Motsepe on Season 24 of Dancing with the Stars.
CHRIS KATTAN (pro partner Witney Carson) - Chris Kattan is best known for his many characters on Saturday Night Live, which he joined in March 1996, completing his seventh and final season in 2003. He will soon be seen in Jesse Thomas’ Walk of Fame, opposite Scott Eastwood. But before that, Chris will be hitting the ballroom with pro partner Witney Carson on Season 24 of Dancing with the Stars.
DAVID ROSS (pro partner Lindsay Arnold) - David Ross is a two-time World Series Champion, having won World Series titles in 2013 with the Boston Red Sox and with the Chicago Cubs in 2016. Recently retired, Ross now serves as a Special Assistant for the Chicago Cubs and also works as a TV Baseball Analyst for ESPN. Now David has a new teammate with pro partner Lindsay Arnold on Season 24 of Dancing with the Stars.
ERIKA JAYNE (pro partner Gleb Savchenko) - You know you’re a music success when you’ve raked in a whopping nine #1’s on the US Billboard dance club chart without a major label machine behind you. That is exactly where dance-pop/reality TV star Erika Jayne is today. Now this real housewife of Beverly Hills is getting real with pro partner Gleb Savchenko on Season 24 of Dancing with the Stars.
HEATHER MORRIS (pro partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy) - Heather Morris is both a talented actress and dancer. She is best known for her role as ‘Brittany Pierce’ on FOX’s hit series Glee and she also appeared in the feature film Spring Breakers. However, this spring, Heather hopes to break into the Finals with pro partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy on Season 24 of Dancing with the Stars.
MR. T (pro partner Kym Herjavec) – In Rocky III, Mr. T played Clubber Lang, a boxer pitted against the film’s main character, Rocky Balboa. It was during the filming of this movie that Mr. T coined the catchphrase, “I pity the fool!” He would go on to star as one of TV’s most memorable characters on The A-Team. Mr. T will be bringing his A-game with pro partner Kym Herjavec on Season 24 of Dancing with the Stars.
NANCY KERRIGAN (pro partner Artem Chigvintsev) - Nancy Kerrigan has been one of America’s most recognizable sports icons for over 20 years. In 1993 Kerrigan became the United States Ladies Champion and followed that up with her historic silver medal performance at the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics. Nancy trades in her ice skates for dancing shoes with pro partner Artem Chigvintsev on Season 24 of Dancing with the Stars.
NICK VIALL (pro partner Peta Murgatroyd) – When Bachelorette Andi Dorfman said goodbye to Nick Viall just as he was preparing to pick out a ring, he was devastated. When Nick walked up to Kaitlyn Bristowe with an engagement ring in his pocket only to be sent home, he was crushed. Now Nick follows up his run as The Bachelor with a run at the Mirrorball with pro partner Peta Murgatroyd on Season 24 of Dancing with the Stars.
NORMANI KORDEI (pro partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy) - Normani Kordei is one-fourth of one of the most popular girl groups in the world, Fifth Harmony. The release of Fifth Harmony’s sophomore album, “7/27,” is the latest in a series of record-breaking accomplishments for the group. Now Normani takes to a brand new stage with pro partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy on Season 24 of Dancing with the Stars.
RASHAD JENNINGS (pro partner Emma Slater) - Rashad Jennings was one of the top NFL running backs in 2015. In that breakout 2015 season, he started every game and set career highs in carries, rushing yards, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. Rashad will be hoping all those touchdown dances will help him and pro partner Emma Slater go far on Season 24 of Dancing with the Stars.
SIMONE BILES (pro partner Sasha Farber) - At 19, Simone Biles is already considered one of the best and most decorated gymnasts in the history of the sport. Her career highlights include being an Olympic Gold medalist in vault, floor, Individual and Team All-Around, and a Bronze medalist on Beam at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Simone will look to add a Mirrorball Trophy to her mantle with pro partner Sasha Farber on Season 24 of Dancing with the Stars.
I am sad not to see Cheryl or Karina back. I’m always sad not to see Tristan but I know that ship has sailed long ago. I am excited for Sasha to have Simone. Right now they are my choice to win this whole thing.
I knew who only five of the celebrities are.
Hahaha Annie! I knew two, Simone Biles and Nancy Kerrigan. No one else.
I only know Simone Biles, Nancy Kerrigan, Mr. T, and Charo!! Not a clue on any of the others.....(I'm such a Hollywood fan!! LOL)

Btw. Sharna's Bonner doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry. I'm a bit worried about what his fan base is like.

Jet, I haven't screamed loud enough?
Need to go. Have someone coming in for repairs to our driveway after the torrential rains this summer. Ciao bella!

It has been another very busy day. Need to head to the shower before I hit the sack as the 3 granddaughters and I head out at 6 a.m. for the San Diego Slumber Party at our son's house. It's my Friday of the month to be with the kids while both parents are at work...and daughter is finishing her conference in Hotel Circle on Saturday (not sure just what time that is).
Today after spending the morning picking up and washing kids' clothes, the 4 of us got Subway sandwiches and had a tail gate party prior to going into "The Cube" (Discover Science Museum). Tonite the 3 kids are TOAST, but they had a great time! They can sleep in the car on the trip south in the morning. I've packed up a few breakfast items to keep everyone functioning (hopefully!). Li'l One (3-1/2) wakes up ready to eat every morning so I sit her down with a yogurt and either a small amount of juice or milk to hold her till we have breakfast. She would drink milk all day if allowed so it is restricted to after she's eaten most of her food. She is a very good eater for such a tiny little thing!
Granddaughter #1 (in SD) has ice hockey games at 8:45 tomorrow nite and again at 10 a.m. Saturday! We will likely pass on the nite game....stay home with the kids who may not want to go....because of the time but will go on Saturday morning.
So I shall sign off to get ready to blast off in the morning. I think we are fairly organized...taking just what we need for the overnite trip rather than having to keep track of a whole bunch of stuff! Daughter and kids (+ her MIL) will be driving back up north Sunday (leaving early from MIL's house). We'll be sad to see them go! It has been a good time---and with a little bribery ---most of the homework is done!!
Will check in on Saturday when we get home. I think I'll leave my iPad this time. Won't have time to get on it and it's one less thing to keep track of!!!
Sweet dreams....and have a great Friday!!!

Oh--so sorry I missed you, Gabriele!! I was writing a novel!!! LOL
Glad you could read that tattoo.....I wasn't too sure what it said!! I think he may have used "faithfulness" because he is likely an evangelical Christian (you can tell by the hat!! . Did I read he is a country singer?) and that...at least to me....connotes a slightly different meaning than "fidelity".

Jet, I must have stared at it for a while, cross-eyed. Maybe that's the effect intended by the wearer. I can't recall having heard 'faithfulness' in an everyday conversation. So, it expresses a commitment to a religion or perhaps to traditional values? I wouldn't have picked the hat to be anything other than protection from the elements. What is it about the style/shape, Jet? It is a Stetson perhaps, but what's the significance of it?
