Influence
When Selleck turned 70, he called it a defining moment because that was the first time in his life, after his father’s passing in 2011, he really felt like a grown man. “I had had a lot of leadership positions, I had been in the military…but you know, in my case, when my father died, I go, ‘There’s nobody to go to for fatherly advice. You’re on your own, pal’,” Selleck revealed.

He was virtually an overnight sensation. Hold on, it is just the beginning for this legend.
