Beverly McKittrick: The Untold Story Of Jackie Gleason's Wife?
Is it possible to truly know a person, especially when their life is lived under the relentless glare of the spotlight? The story of Beverly McKittrick, forever intertwined with the legacy of the legendary Jackie Gleason, reveals a life of surprising turns, impactful work, and a connection to a man who captivated millions.
While "the great one," as Jackie Gleason was affectionately known for his remarkable performances, commanded attention on stage and screen, Beverly McKittrick carved her own distinct path. Their paths converged in 1968 at a country club, where she worked diligently as a secretary. Gleason, already a star of immense magnitude, was navigating the complexities of a dissolving marriage. The attraction was undeniable, and a romance blossomed. The whirlwind nature of their courtship mirrored the frenetic energy of Gleason's on-screen persona.
