NO WONDER –
July 17, 2024 – Grammer’s father was shot to death when the actor was only 13 years old. He had two half-brothers who were eaten by sharks in a scuba-diving accident. His sister was abducted, sexually assaulted, and ultimately killed by a spree killer. Grammer had to identify his sister’s body, notifying his grief-stricken mother afterward.
All these tragedies and traumas drove Grammer to abuse drugs and alcohol. With an early life like Grammer’s, it’s hard to blame the actor for going down such a dark path.
Through all the pain of his life experiences, Grammer managed to find a reason to live to fight another day. He has six Emmy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a Tony Award. When asked how he managed to persevere, he had a poignant answer.
