Tops with Pop

From SOW April 28, 1998

Nancy Lee Grahn's father has no trouble separating real life with reel life. Although Helena has Alexis jumping through hoops - and that's on a good day - Grahn says her dad, Bob, has a mad crush on Constance Towers, who plays the contempitable matriarch. Grahn's parents have been staying with Grahn since her daughter, Kate, was born. "One day last week my mother came down to the studio with me, and my father stayed home with the baby," Grahn says, laughing. "You've got to understand: My father has been married to my mother for 45 years, and they are madly in love. But as we were leaving, he ran out of the house, plucked a rose from my garden, handed to me and said,'This is for Connie.'"
