As for Grace, compared to what goes on today, her sins seem pretty minor.
Bing did not have a terrible home life. He had a son who was a druggie and claimed Bing was abusive, etc. But everyone else, inclusing other of his children, dispute that. He was a gentleman thru & thru.
As for Grace, compared to what goes on today, her sins seem pretty minor.
and here's an excerpt from that site:
Six years after Bing died, Bing’s son Gary wrote the book Going my own Way. It shocked the world. Gary detailed the years of physical and emotional abuse from his father, from his nickname of "Bucket Butt", weekly weigh-ins, and beatings that drew blood. Gary said in his book that to endure the pain, he would dream up ways to kill his father. Gary’s brother Lindsay supported the charges in the book, stating, "I hope it clears up a lot of the old lies." Bing’s second family was outraged at the book, but Gary said he wanted the truth to be told. It was a completely different view of Father O’Malley. It is a great book, if you are able to find a copy. I do not intend to disrespect Bing’s memory, but I am going by what the book said. (Very kind of you Kevin, but I will. Bing was a nasty, mean man. There, I said it.) Bing left money for all of his children, with a catch. It was left in a blind trust, until they turned 65. Reminds me of an old joke. How do you know Bing Crosby was uncircumcised? There was just no end to that prick.
Gary Crosby died of lung cancer at 62, on August 24th, 1995. Dennis and Lindsay both died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds, Lindsay in 1989, and Dennis in 1991. Phillip is a nightclub owner, living in Woodland Hills now, and vehemently denies that Bing was a bad man.
