How did Tom Selleck meet his wife Jillie Mack?

Tom and Jillie met in 1983, a year after divorcing his wife Jacquelyn Ray who was also mother of his adopted 19-year-old son, Kevin. Tom had just gotten over his fling with the actress Mimi Rogers who later married Tom Cruise.

Tom was busy filming his movie  Lassiter at that time and had acquired a taste for  a certain West End musical.

“He kept telling me how great Cats was,” his movie co-star Jane Seymour said then. “I thought it was good, but I couldn’t see going back a dozen times.” Selleck was more in love with his date at that time than the show, the date being none other than Jillie Joan Mack.

“They had dinner one night and it went on from there,” her London agent, Bryn Newton told people in 1987.
