Chad Everett and Shelby Grant, two beloved actors of the 1970s, were more than just performers. They embodied the vows they had taken: “…for better, for worse…to love and to cherish, till death do us part.” In a charming love story, Everett and Grant were married for 45 years and remained devoted to one another until Grant’s sudden passing in 2011.
Raymon Lee Cramton, later known as Chad Everett, started his career with Warner Bros. He was given the name Chad Everett by Rock Hudson’s agent Henry Willson, who recognized his talent and potential. According to Everett, the change was necessary as his original name, Raymon Cramton, was confusing: “Raymon, no ‘d,’ Cramton, no ‘p.’”
