I love ELO and have so many happy memories of dancing to them. Thank you Jeff Lynne and the whole band for the music and the pleasure.
WOW! She sure got around. Married to the phenomenal Terry Kath who brainstormed the amazingly talented group “CHICAGO” until his untimely death in 1978… wherein the marriage produced a daughter Michelle. Kath died in January, 1978. Then She married 12 years her junior actor Keifer Sutherland, son is f actor Donald Sutherland, the marriages produce a daughter Sarah Sutherland before divorcing. Some years later, Camilla then became romantically involved with the founder of Music Orchestra “ELO… ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA”. Although they’ve not married to date, they’re still together as of this post, I think…unless she’s moved onto another Music icon.
Maria DePalma, she “got around”? As a former young widow, I find that highly offensive! Camilla was SO young when her husband DIED. Seriously, this is over a span of OVER FORTY YEARS!!! How many relationships have you had during this time? I’m assuming less than 3, right?
I agree with hballauer. Camelia was single for a decade after Terry’s very avoidable death. She and Kiefer were divorced for years before she found love with the amazing Jeff Lynne. I hope they enjoy years of happiness together, they deserve it. Shame on you Maria. Apparently you are a nun and sit in judgment of other people.
Terry Kath NEVER married Camilla! Fact!
I didn’t get the impression that Maria was criticizing Camelia about her relationships with these men, just that she had met three well-known successful and talented men and had a relationship with all three. How many of us out there could say the same?!!
Be mad. Love when people get upset over an opinion cuz it doesn’t gell with what they believe. Life is hard, huh. She strikes me as a bit of a gold digger. I loved the extra info about lower actors making around 50k. If that’s true, where did the net worth of 4 million come from. Could it be formerly famous rich guys?
