Only in Woman's Day
It's been 34 years since handsome actor Marcus Graham burst onto our TV screens, playing wheelchair-bound Stanley “Wheels” Kovac in E Street, in a role that catapulted him to heartthrob status and propelled him to Hollywood.
Marcus was just 25 and had the world at his feet. But just as his star was rising in 1989, his private world was falling apart – because the woman he adored, Nicole Kidman, who had spent two years by his side, left him for Tom Cruise after they met and fell in love on the set of Days Of Thunder.
I don't have anything bad to say about. “We were both in our early 20s and young and ambitious. A brilliant, gorgeous, talented actress meets big Hollywood movie star and he says, ‘Come with me.’ I think you say, ‘Go, are you mad?’ It must have been wonderful for her.
