Jack’s son Peter was in attendance, as well as Michelle’s daughter Ornella. He was previously married to Peter’s mother, Kristina, from 1993 until 2006, and was briefly engaged to actress Heather Locklear in 2011.
Old flames
Speaking to Us Weekly, the 65-year-old revealed that he still keeps in touch with his ex-fiancée and credits the success of their show Melrose Place to her undeniable charisma. He shared that the pair keep in contact “just [for] little things…birthday things or stuff like that. We stay friendly.”
“I think the success of [When Calls the Heart] has to do with Erin Krakow, our lead actress. I’ve always felt that way about any show that I’ve been on. It was Heather from Melrose, it was Bold and the Beautiful with Katherine Kelly Lang,” he continued.
“When it trickles down from people who root for and love your lead actress and your lead actor, they invest. It is an investment. They feel like they know us, and we feel like we know them.”
Soap stars
The iconic actor has enjoyed a prolific TV career, and shared his wish for soap stars to receive the credit that they deserve.
“To even use the label of a ‘soap actor,’ I don’t really care for that,” he declared to Us Weekly. “I never have. Because I’m a real thespian. I’ve been trained in the theater. That’s how I look at it. Actors are actors; it just depends on what medium you’re working in.”
He continued: “I gotta tell you honestly, people that are from A-list films have no idea what it’s like to have 60 pages of dialogue on one day of a soap opera and work 14 hours and get it all right.”
