Leif Garrett

Leif Garrett is an American singer, actor and television personality. He became famous in the 1970s as a child actor, pop star and teen idol, but received much publicity later in his adult life for his drug abuse and legal troubles.

Garrett was born in Hollywood, California to Carolyn Stellar and Rik Nervik, and started his entertainment career at age five. His father was absent for most of his life, but Garrett has since reconciled with him, stating He feels so badly about missing the years when you know youre so proud to have a son, like from ageto manhood, when you help influence and guide your sons life. Well, he missed out on all that stuff. He is regretting missing that and he now treats me like that.
