No. 1 Fan Married Her Idol
Start a fan club for an actor and you may wind up as his bride. That’s what happened to a pretty young lady named Ann Trinkhouse, a Pittsburgh girl and former airline stewardess. Ann, now known as Betsi Lee, was president of the International Fan Club for Craig Curtis, who has a lead role in the CBS-TV Monday through Friday daytime series, The Clear Horizon. As president of the club, Ann or Betsi (whichever you prefer) came into contact with Craig quite often. At first these were casual meetings as friends. ‘Then romance entered the picture and the climactic announcement came this month. Craig and his fan club pres were going to be married. The wedding took place at the Little Country Church of Hollywood. The only guests were cast members and the production crew of The Clear Horizon. Producer Manya Starr, who also does the major writing job on the daytime series, is writing Curtis out of the show for three weeks so he can have a proper honeymoon.
** Well that marriage was doomed. Craig Curtis ended up as partner to actor Earl Holliman who died at age 96 in Nov 2024.
