In my early years when I started out, I was bodyguard to Dinah Shore, who was good friends with Farrah, and her then husband Lee Majors. I got the chance to meet Farrah at a dinner and showing of Lee Major’s Movie- Francis Gary Powers. They had come to Dinah’s house and Pauline the housekeeper as usual made an amazing dinner. I had the opportunity to be around Dinah and Pauline who were to say the least amazing spirits. They loved Farrah, and thought she was the sweetest of people. Pauline loved Farrah, they both loved to cook, and ironically Pauline was Farrah's mothers name. I got close to Pauline because I say her 6 days a week for several years along with Dinah. Farrah and Lee arrived that night for dinner in a new Porsche Turbo Carrera. I let them, in and they were very nice. Lee had almost run out of gas getting to the house for dinner, and let’s say Farrah was asking Lee why he didn't get gas. Now this hit home as my girlfriend always asks why I hate to get gas, I guess its a guy thing. anyway. Lee comes out of the house and asked if one of the security people could drive his car and get gas. Dinah ok’d it and we had other guys on the property, so sometimes the boss gets the perks, I jumped at the chance to drive the new Turbo Porsche Carrera. I raced that car and got it up to 90 going down Beverly to Rodeo. I got back to house and gave the car back wishing that I could have one, this was 1978. Farrah was really sweat, I was just the bodyguard, and she treated me as she did everyone like we all were something very special. Later on, Farrah was kind enough to sign an outtake copy of the photograph of her and the cougar for me. I still have that picture. When she decided to divorce Lee Majors, I was asked to be the scout with the security team watching the Mulholland house. I was a bodyguard for years, actors, music people the whole gambit, but Farrah, was genuinely nice, treated us like she had known us for years. She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable. When Greg Lott contacted me and asked me for help, and showing me the letters, we’ll you can go from there.

Dr MILLER,
ReplyDeleteWhat a life, what a darn fun sounding life.
Farrah was SO BRIGHT- LIKE PLATINUM ICE , Prior to the then charm of the dark horse.
You are an honorable man to share these memories.
I APPLAUDE YOU NOW FOR THE STRENGTH , TIME AND CARE FOR NOT ONLY MY.LOTT, BUT US THE FAN'S.
TEXBOY-GREG One day I will tell of THE SUBSTITUTE WIFE- and a HISTORIC PLACE HERE IN TEXAS CALLED THREADGIL'S - But WOW what a life you have has so far.
omg im typing so fast - FORGIVE THE MISPELLING
ReplyDeleteGREG---I was so taken back by your post.
This is what bothers me....these people that say they were Farrah's friend and lover...they say they new of the physical and verbal abuse...why didn't they step in and help her when she needed it? What good does it do HER now to talk about it? Also, if she did indeed have a PRIVATE love affair with Mr. Lott, she obviously wanted to keep it that way...what honor is there in exposing it now? Who is really looking for their 15 minutes of fame? Ryan may NEVER get a boyfriend or father of the year award, but he seems to be taking the high road on this.
ReplyDeleteRyan taking the hi-road- SORRYYYYYYYYY-
ReplyDeleteHe was partying it up , withen an hour of Farrahs funeral, and by partying I mean so pretty wild things going on. It is on tape somewhere-
Farrah was so very private in the area of the moment , that it was not until we say a sling on her are that we knew- and IF YOU LOOK BACK , oneal WAS A SHREWED BODYGUARD- THE 1980'S ARE WELL DOCUMENTED IN THIS. No one could get to her. Her privacy contained suffering. She went into almost reclusive state prior to the mid 1990's.

I agree with the anonymous posts. Another question I have, is if Greg was the love of her life, then why didn't he accompny her to her dr. visits and to Germany? I don't think these questions are unfair because he is the one putting this out there for her fans to read and discuss. Also, power of attorney, etc. are not things you take lightly and sign on your death bed. They are done way in advance, with witness, especially when you have a terminal illness and Farrah was a smart, shrewd business woman. I'm sure she did all this way in advance. Whether you like her friends or not, Farrah had Ryan with her be cause she WANTED him with her. People need to accept that and respect her wish. Farrah wants us to FIGHT THE FIGHT to make more/better cancer treatments available and to save precious lives, NOT this fight.

If you look at the coverage on the MJ passing this was an advantage to the many things that are little by little going to come out on Farrah !
ReplyDeletePeople are buying into every aspect they can on MJ- and for a season this passing of MJ seemed to cover up and stall the FARRAH FACTS-
The little 500 guest funeral, the cut/spliced last days, the reason Farrah was not honored at her own church, and so on, sadly she wanted cremation as said and this was the ultimate in not honoring Farrah. ABUSE COMES IN A MILLION FORMS-

I remember watching Dinah Shore's show as a little kid after school.
ReplyDeleteHer show was great and hope one day it comes to dvd.
Also to some of the previous posts,leave Gregg Lott alone. Did it ever occur to you that he is not a fame whore and tried his hardest to contact Farrah. It was Ryan and Alana that stopped him.I wonder why? If nothing was going on then why did Gregg pose such a threat to them?
Debbie you really need to stop watching The View and Entertainment Tonight and use the brain god gave you,take the blinders off dear! Farrah is gone from this earth now and if she were alive she would not have allowed Ryan to shut her love Gregg Lott from her life. Who keeps a person in their lives for over 40yrs and chose him to run her Official website and as soon as she becomes bedridden and highly sedated cuts him out of her life,get real she did not wish to do that if was the dollar signs in his eyes Ryan O'Slob who did that. The real love story here is Farrah & Gregg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think anyone stopped Farrah from doing what she wanted to do...remember she left Charlie's Angels when everyone told her not to, she left Lee Majors, she left Ryan O'Neal once, she took on the medical center that gave out her medical records, she fought that bastard cancer---I don't think anyone could stop her if she wanted something!

P.S. I hate The View
to address some of the comments: Fame Don't belive the Hype. it is not what its cracked up to be. I have been famous and continue to be famous in my area of expertise. I have been the team doctor at 2 olympic games, continue to consult to government as well as private industry. In regards to those who knew and kept quiet. I learned this the hard way, unless the person wants out to of the situation you can only make it worse by getting involved. The learned this lesson the hard way and got stabbed by the wife while I was stopping him from beating her. Anyway, you be a friend and do the best you can. It is the most frustrating experience. In Gregs position, he asked and she denied thats it. I don't understand the dynamics of this to say the least. Greg does not want fame, he truely was loved by Farrah, and he loved Farrah. He truely sees a wrong that needs to be righted. He knows this is going to open a wound and questions. But she and I believe him told him this is what she wanted. You take from that what you will.
ReplyDeleteOk to Debbie, I feel that HITMAN is correct.
ReplyDeletePlus when a person is as famous as Farrah , you need a team of protectors.
Well the world thought this is what she had, We rested in it, we thought Farrah was safe in the final months with the decesions made at her request, and handwriting- She was seemingly so guarded that no one knew , UNTIL THE 2 DIFFERENT SIGNATURES SURFACED, and the MEDICATED, SLEEPY ONE was turning over power of attorney to Ryan- so as I watch Her American MD ,be a pallbearer, at her funeral, and become very personal in the defense of Farrah, I am now seeing the light. MY POINT ? A DOCTOR CAN USE HIS WORDS TO DEFENDE- This is the rout that I feel is being taken. Thru the years I have numerous Autographs of Farrah, and the 2 signatures that DO NOT ADD UP are THE POWER OF ATTORNEY, and the most hideous one, her said signature on Her Memorial tribute.
Something is just not right.
