Influence
Selleck said that turning 70 years old was a turning point in his life. It was apparently the first time that he felt like a grown man ever since his father passed away. He revealed, “I had had a lot of leadership positions, I had been in the military…but you know, in my case, when my father died, I go, ‘There’s nobody to go to for fatherly advice. You’re on your own, pal’.”
Only The Start
We already know that Selleck had a modeling gig, but did you know that he was on The Dating Game? His fraternity brothers and drama coach were the ones who encouraged him to audition for the reality show. After his appearance on the show, Pepsi got in touch and booked him for a commercial. It would turn him into an overnight sensation! This was the beginning of a great career, though no one knew it at the time.
