Did you think he was....I don't know how to explain it......a very gentle soul perhaps? Or marches to his own drummer......can't put my finger on it.

I always knew she and Mark were siblings. In fact, there was some kind of scandal years ago where I do think Mark was trying to get custody of his sister's kids.

Re: RIP Kristin (Harmon) Nelson- Ex wife of Ricky Nelson

I think Ricky Nelson was my first teen celebrity crush, Nelson was my maiden name so that added to my attachment. When I heard the name Kristin when they married in 1963, I was 14. I hung on to that name as my favorite if I had a daughter, and finally, after two boys, I had my Kristin in 1989, 26 years later. So sad when two such gifted beautiful people had such messed up lives because of drugs and alcohol, but I believe Kristin Nelson had cleaned up her act years ago.

She was a primitive painter.  I’ll post a link of some of her work.  Apparently Jacqueline Kennedy and Mia Farrow bought pieces.

The article on Mark Harmon that someone posted appeared in Radar-which is a notoriously cheap rag source.    We will not know what their relationship was at the end.  But I would not believe anything that was printed by that source-ever.

During her divorce, he stepped in for her kids.

Not an unusual situation, happens often in families facing a crisis

Re: RIP Kristin (Harmon) Nelson- Ex wife of Ricky Nelson

I read that the other day.  She was so beautiful and those amazing eyes.  Ricky was a gorgeous guy and he had beautiful eyes as well.  Very sad.  I guess she was plagued with issues most of her life.  Being beautiful, talented and famous --- we think people have it all.  I guess all that glitters is not gold!!
