From 70s teen celebrity to troubled star. This actor and singer is 62 years old now

Posted on August 2, 2024

Born on November 8, 1961, in Hollywood, California, Lief Garrett, christened Leif Per Nervik, was destined for stardom. With a lineage steeped in entertainment, Garrett was introduced to the industry at a young age.

His mother, Carolyn Stellar, was an actress, and his father, Rik Nervik, a prominent figure in Hollywood. By the time he was five, Garrett was already auditioning for roles, quickly landing parts in television series and commercials.

Teen Idol and Music Career

Garrett’s big break came in 1975 when he starred in the TV series “Three for the Road.” However, it was his transition to music that catapulted him to teen idol status. In 1977, he released his debut album, featuring hits like “Surfin’ U.S.A.” and “Runaround Sue.”

His boyish good looks and charm made him a favorite among teenage girls, leading to sold-out concerts and a massive fan following.
