The Skinny on Tom Selleck, A Hollywood Legend
Dreamer
The Selleck family originally planted their roots in Detroit, also the home of contemporary actors David Spade and Kristen Bell. When Tom was still a child, his family relocated to California, where his father worked in real estate, and his mother stayed at home as a housewife. The family was known in the community for their disciplined nature, family values, and strong work ethic. It’s no surprise that Tom espouses these qualities even to this day. He used these same values when discussing his parenting style for his own family, and when telling how his mother was as a parent, he said, “She’s always been there and always been very fair — even when she said, ‘Wait till your father gets home,’ which usually was for good reason.” Unfortunately, his mother passed away last year.
