Don Grady, who got his start as a Mouseketeer on “The Mickey Mouse Club,” passed away in 2012 at age 68. Tina Cole, his co-star on 'My Three Sons,' wrote a book titled 'My Three Lives.'

In it, the daughter of musician Buddy Cole and Yvonne King of the singing King Sisters claimed that she and Grady had fallen in love on the set of"My Three Sons," but a lasting romance wasn’t meant to be.

But it wasn’t love at first sight for the stars. While"My Three Sons" first premiered in 1960, Cole joined the cast in 1964. The sitcom tells the tale of widower Steve Douglas , who raises three sons with the help of his father-in-law and the boys’ great-uncle. Cole said Grady was disappointed that she was his on-screen love interest.

"He said, ‘You guys need to look like you like each other, so go back into the corner of the sound stage and practice kissing,’" she recalled."And so we did… For like half an hour we had to learn how to kiss… I think the scene turned out very well, actually. And then two years later when Don and I actually fell in love for real, he said, ‘I almost wanted to quit because they were casting you.

"Fred Silverman had taken over programming," Cole explained."And very loudly he said, ‘I do not like all these little family shows.’ You know, ‘My Three Sons,’ 'Petticoat Junction’ – those kinds of shows. He did everything he could to get rid of us. Our ratings were still good, but he moved us to a different time slot on a different day. And finally, he said, ‘I don’t care if people like them – they’re gone.

"There are a lot of us, and they all loved him," she said."He fit in, but he didn’t feel as comfortable as I thought he did."There were several reasons why a relationship with Don Grady wouldn't have worked for Tina Cole. However, she still loved him.
