As you might know, Mark Harmon, star of hit TV series NCIS, is the younger brother of Rick Nelson's late ex-wife, Kristin Harmon Nelson.
Here is part of an interesting story, quoted from today's Parade:
"How Ozzie & Harriet Changed His Life"
"Harmon's football future was forever changed when his sister married...Ricky...and he began hanging out with her in-laws, TV stars Ozzie and Harriet Nelson."
"While working as a lifeguard at the beach, [he] remembers how Ozzie...would often join him. 'We'd sit underneath my tower and we'd talk about big band music, as Ozzie wss a big band leader and Harriet was a vocalist.' One day, while Nelson was filming his show Ozzie's Girls, the early-'70s spinoff of Ozzie and Harriet, he asked Harmon to fill in for an actor who couldn't be there. Harmon jumped at the chance, shadowing Nelson around the set and into the editing room. After that, he was hooked, Harmon says. 'That changed my course.'"
