Michael Nesmith - Biography
Robert Michael Nesmith is an American musician, songwriter, actor, producer, novelist, businessman, and philanthropist, best known as a member of the pop rock band the Monkees and co-star of the TV series The Monkees. Nesmith is a songwriter, including "Different Drum" (sung by Linda Ronstadt with the Stone Poneys), and executive producer of the cult film Repo Man (1984). In 1981, Nesmith won the first Grammy Award given for Video of the Year for his hour-long television show, Elephant Parts.
Nesmith was born in Houston, Texas, in 1942. He is an only child; his parents, Warren Audrey Nesmith and Bette Nesmith Graham, divorced when their son was four. He and his mother moved to Dallas to be closer to her parents, sister, aunts, and grandmother. Bette took temporary jobs ranging from clerical work to graphical design and developed very good secretarial skills, including shorthand and, auspiciously, touch typing.
At San Antonio College, he met another SAC student, Phyllis Ann Barbour, whom he later married. After their marriage in 1964, they decided to move to Los Angeles, so Nesmith could pursue his songwriting and singing career and at the time, Phyllis was pregnant with their first child, Christian DuVal.
When the Monkees' TV series ended in 1968, Nesmith enrolled part-time at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and studied American History and Music History. Michael and Phyllis's second son Jonathan was born in February 1968. Nesmith's third son Jason was born in August 1968 to Nurit Wilde, whom he met while working on The Monkees.
Phyllis's third child and Nesmith's fourth, daughter Jessica, was born in September 1970. In around 1972, Nesmith started the record label Countryside Records with Jac Holzman, the founder of Elektra Records. Also in 1972, Nesmith and Phyllis were divorced and he moved to Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. In 1974, Nesmith started Pacific Arts Records and released what he called "a book with a soundtrack", titled The Prison, as the company's first release. In 1976, he married Kathryn Bild. In 1988, following the ending of this second marriage, he returned to Los Angeles where he met Victoria Kennedy. They moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1992 and then returned to Carmel, California, in 2000. They were married in April 2000 in Monterey, California. They separated in 2011 and Kennedy filed for divorce.
Nesmith was forced to cancel the last four dates of his 2018 tour with Micky Dolenz due to a "minor health scare". However, in an interview with Rolling Stone published on July 26, Nesmith revealed he had undergone quadruple bypass heart surgery, after which he had been hospitalized for over a month.
