The 1978 movie ended up being one of the biggest musicals of all time. John Travolta’s greaser Danny Zuko falls in love with his Australian goody-two-shoes girlfriend Sandy played by Olivia Newton John. There’s been a lot of talk about that certain high school where most of the film takes place – Rydell High which was actually Huntington Park High School in L.A. And all signs look to Bobby Rydell as the inspiration. (Clip 019 – :44)

Bobby Rydell almost died a few years ago. He started drinking when his first wife Camille was dying and ended up needing a kidney and liver transplant. For the longest time it did not look good until a young lady named Julia lost her life. I asked Bobby Rydell if he even wonders how he’s still here? (Clip 020 – :48)

Bobby Rydell tells this amazing story about his first wife Camille who was there when, as a teen idol, could not tell anyone that he was paired up. (Clip 012 – 2:37)

Bobby Rydell released his autobiography, “Teen Idol on the Rocks: A Tale of Second Chances” a few years ago. We will have a link to purchase in the description of this video.
