Graham Kerr - Biography
Graham Kerr (born 22 January 1934) is an English cooking personality who is best known for his television cooking show The Galloping Gourmet.
Some near-tragedies caused Kerr to suspend his television career, thus ending the show. In April 1971, Kerr and his wife Treena were involved in an car crash in California. As a result of the accident, he suffered a dislocated spine and a weakened left arm. As therapy, Kerr had to wear a one-pound bracelet in order to strengthen the weakened arm. Then in January 1972, Treena was at first diagnosed with lung cancer. That diagnosis turned out to be incorrect; it was later determined she had tuberculosis and part of her lung had to be removed. She went on to make a full recovery. However she became addicted to painkillers as well as several other medications.
Kerr returned to television in 1975 with a daily syndicated five-minute series, Take Kerr, which featured a particular recipe for each show. This program reflected his newfound embrace of both Christianity and healthful eating, with lighter-calorie recipes and Christian elements, including the use of the hymn "This Is the Day the Lord Has Made" as a theme song. The programme lasted four series. One Christian element on the show, an inclusion of a passage from the Bible in the closing credits, was strongly resisted by one of the stations on which the show aired, and indirectly caused Kerr to lose millions of dollars in potential revenue owing to his unwillingness to compromise. This series was later repeated on CNN during its first year or so on the air.
Kerr married Treena Van Doorne, an English actress, on 22 September 1955. They first met when they were both 11 years old. They had three children together: Tessa (born 1956), Andrew (born 1960), and Kareena (born 1968). Kerr has lived in Mount Vernon, Washington, for several years. Treena Kerr died on 17 September 2015, five days before what would have been their 60th wedding anniversary.
