@DrBuzz_Forensic so sad, not a great actor but handsome all the same
@DrBuzz_Forensic "Troy Donahue's" real name was Merle Johnson, Jr. When he appeared in, I believe, "The Godfather," his character was actually NAMED Merle Johnson, as his private joke.
@DrBuzz_Forensic Always liked him! HB and RIP Troy Donahue (so popular he was mentioned in a song by Betty Rizzo in the Grease movie!)
@DrBuzz_Forensic @VipMrgee Last seen as Connie’s boyfriend in Godfather 2
@DrBuzz_Forensic From A Chorus Line: "If Try Donahue can be a movie star, then I can be a movie star."
@DrBuzz_Forensic Very sad story. Thank goodness for the work of AA.
