A touching reminiscence submitted by GJBarnett2 on August 16, 2011, 12:06am Jennifer Grant's touching reminiscence of her beloved father, full of personal memories, revealing a wonderful father-daughter relationship. Well worth a read on that basis but almost nothing about her father's career or personal experiences as an actor.
