    Jeremy Slate had the talent to be a big star. hide show

    Back in the early 60's, I had the good fortune to babysit Jeremy and Beverly Slate's children because my mother was the family housekeeper. Not only was he talented and good looking but was a really nice person with a great family. I always thought he should have been a bigger star.
