FP Series #282 - Parker Stevenson Traditional Cache

Two Hundred EightySecond in the Famous People (FP) Series - Parker Stevenson

Parker Stevenson (born Richard Stevenson Parker on June 4, 1952) became well-known from starring in the The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries series with teen heartthrob, Shaun Cassidy, which ran 1977-79 on ABC-TV. He was part of the original cast of Baywatch in the 1989 season. He also had a recurring role as a computer tycoon on Melrose Place. And he starred as Billy Hazard in the TV miniseries North and South.

Frank and Joe Hardy were the teenage sons of world-renowned private investigator Fenton Hardy. Snooping must have been in the Hardy blood, since Frank and Joe were always stumbling across mysterious goings-on, usually of the non-violent kind. Kidnapping, smuggling, robbery, missing persons and haunted houses were the norm in the Hardy hometown of Bayport, although their adventures often took the boys to other cities or even countries. Frank was the sensible, older brother, while Joe was impulsive and a budding pop singer.

But his real claim to fame? On December 22, 1983, Stevenson was married to actress Kirstie Alley and 14 years later divorced her. When Kirstie won the Emmy, she completely forgot to even mention Stevenson in her acceptance speech and well, that was the beginning of the end. Stevenson walked away from the marriage with a $6,000,000 settlement after asking for $75,000 per month in alimony. I'm guessing that's about the same time *someone* became a fat actress.
