To millions of fans, Sgt. Slaughter was a hero in the wrestling world and the G.I. Joe universe. To Kelly Slaughter, he was simply dad.
My occasional interview partner Joey Roth and I had the pleasure of interviewing Kelly earlier this week. My full recap is on the Chicago Patch at Talking with Kelly Slaughter.
Celebrities get the spotlight, but rarely do we get to see an insider's view. Kelly provided that and more. Kelly had to share her dad with his fans, but he always made her feel special with cards, notes, calls and more.
In her adult life, Kelly went on a fitness journey, losing more than 140 pounds in just a few years. She continues to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which is one of the reasons she is doing well in the Fab Over 40 contest. Kelly is definitely fab and neither Joey nor I thought she was over 40.
It was a real pleasure talking to Kelly. She is such a positive person. We thank her for her time and consideration, as well as letting share her dad for all these years.
