My parents are both so anti pop culture that I truly don’t know.

I would bet a million dollars that my mom couldn’t pick Kim K out of a lineup.

Mom - Michael Rennie and Robert Stack

Dad - don't know, he died when I was young.

 

[TheFloatingBear]

Mom - can't think of someone offhand...
Dad - Maureen O'Hara and Rita Hayworth - and Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra, but I put them in a different category, hard to explain...

HOWEVER...I ended up marrying a family friend after my mother passed away and she absolutely adored him (but obviously didn't know I married him), so can I count him??

My parents are both so anti pop culture that I truly don’t know.

My mother wasn't anti-pop culture per se but similar in that she didn't seem to be into it all. I mean she could tell me about people - Elizabeth Taylor, Shirley MacLaine but never idolized anyone.

[hereyago]

My dad: Johnny Cash, Roy Clark and Donna Summer.

My Mom: She had a personality disorder, so mostly herself. But she had a thing for an MTV vj, Adam Curry and singer Kip Winger lol

 

[lisaviolet]

Nope.

Get this my father didn't follow or really watch basketball. He just LOVED Shaq.

My brother lived in California and my father would come home wearing Lakers championship gear. He thought Shaq was the greatest man.

My dad passed five years ago. But we bought him an O'Neal jersey not that long ago and there he would be this old guy cutting grass in his Shaq gear!

You're being kind low-key. Deep insight is very very generous. Laughing. Loudly.

I would say timing of the Raptors/Grizzlies. And an ex. Although I watched before a bit. I played softball and tennis from childhood to that point, so I really leaned there as a fan - to both. The 1994 baseball strike changed me. Seems very weird, but it did. I was a huge Montreal fan and they were having an outstanding season. Plus I was overseas at the time. When 1995 came for NBA Canadian expansion I simply gravitated to basketball.

My Dad-
Fav singer- Johnny Cash
Fav actress- Patricia Neal

Johnny Cash. Forgot him.

When Walk The Line came out I discovered that my parents had seen him very early in his career, a virtual unknown. Both described him as having a magnetic personality.
