"I lost my first wife to cancer
in 1978, and our director lost his
wife. Then we had weddings,
and we had births. Through
those 11 years, we each shared
one family in the daytime and
had another family in the
evenings and on weekends."
The show family keeps in
touch, and Marion Ross, who
played the wife of Bosley's char-
acter, is his neighbor.
Bosley's real wife of 17 years,
Patricia Carr Bosley, has been
a producer and actress. He
has a daughter from his first
marriage, three stepchildren
and a fourth grandchild on
the way. Two of his children
have followed him into show
business and are production ex-
ecutives.
"Prior to coming to Detroit, I
got a call from a first cousin, who
wanted to remind me his son
(Steven Borzak) was a doctor
here; then the son called and in-
vited me to dinner.
"Another cousin called to re-
mind me his son was a rabbi in
Boston, where we'll also be tak-
ing the show. The rabbi soon
celled and invited me to the syn-
agogue there.
"Early on, I figured that on
this tour I was going to be cov-
ered medically in Detroit and
spiritually in Boston."
Bosley has signed to be with
Show Boat for at least six
months, anticipating stops in
California and Arizona. He'll
take off three performances to
help his wife as she produces a
charity show for SHARE (Share
Happily and Reap Endlessly), a
group that has raised close to
$40 million for children's special-
needs facilities.
The entertainer is a founder
and continuing member of the
Holocaust Memorial Museum in
Washington and has been co-
chairman of the membership
committee of the American Can-
cer Society.
A baseball enthusiast, he has
taken in one Tiger game and
looks forward to another during
his stay in Detroit.
"Some very nice lady heard
me on a radio show when I was
saying that I was a baseball fan,"
he said. "She came to the theater
that night and left me five tick-
ets for opening day, and we re-
ally enjoyed it.
"Our whole company is going
out together to Tiger Stadium
on May 8, and we will sing the
national anthem before the af-
ternoon game against Kansas
City."
