Between his two weekly live shows on QVC and his broad digital platform, Mr. Venable last year sold more than $250 million worth of egg poachers, frozen crab cakes and backyard smokers. When he posted a recipe for Philadelphia cheesesteak dip, it reached 5.5 million people on Facebook.
This appeared in The Star-January 7, 1997. Country star Marty Stuart has set up home with Nashville legend Connie Smith--who is 17 years older than him. Marty, whose string of hits include Tempted and The Whiskey Ain't Workin', was only 6 when Connie had her No. 1 country hit Once A Day. Now he's 38--and she's 55.
28 years old. Marty is the guy that everybody loves to be around. He has always made friends easily because he has a way of making others feel good about themselves. Marty is an idealist and an optimist. This is part of his appeal, but it also works against him. For Marty, the glass is always half full, but itâs never completely full. He never feels comfortable with where he is. The grass is always greener on the other side. Heâs happy to make others happy, but heâs never satisfied with himself.
