Life after Tragedy
Well-known for his impressive acting career, Grammer’s personal life wasn’t equally as glamorous. He lost his grandfather to cancer and in 1968, his father was brutally murdered during a home invasion. In 1975, his sister was kidnapped, raped, and murdered, triggering Grammer’s substance abuse issues, which were fueled by guilt. In June 1980, he lost both of his half-brothers during a scuba diving incident in which one failed to resurface and the other suffered an embolism. As much as these events have haunted him, Grammer admitted in an interview with iHeartRadio that he considers these tragedies “as part of life.”
