Rob Lowe

Good actor, yet Razzie Award winner, Rob Lowe,
was one of People Magazine’s “Most Beautiful” although
his hair he has dyed since the day
in his twenty-fourth year that he says he went grey!

A prime role was once offered Rob Lowe:
“Doctor McDreamy” on a hit show.
But he took on instead
two lame shows that went dead,
having stupidly let "West Wing" go!

In the 80’s a sex scandal plagued young Rob, yet
an Emmy for "West Wing" this comeback kid would get.
Also, his three-decade marriage has had no end!
This he attributes to marrying his best friend.

If I were female, I would swoon for Rob. And not a bad actor either... Nice write, Andrea. Congrats on your placement in the contest (right above me). Smiles, Gershon

Rob Lowe's life is a study in contrasts, and you present it well, Andrea. This was both fun to read and reassuring to me. Another example where marriage wins! Congratulations on your win! ~Mark

People get joy out of ruining others! I don't get it. Yet I do! . Speaking of hair dye, I started going gray in my 20's. It's not a character defect it's inherited. One does not wake up all gray, it sneaks in. As if nobody in Hollywood dyes their hair, He is not liked by the Left. And he has never insulted or cursed them out. He's no drunk, druggie, womanizer or molester. Sorry, this made me sad Andrea. So many creeps in Hollywood...but they are adorable? Panagiota.

it's cool to know that you think so highly of him . I think the sex video from his youth was just a stupid thing he did. He has a good marriage . After almost 30 years this proves he is not a bad person.

why did my poem make you sad?

Hi Andrea, Rob Lowe still looks handsome. I had no idea he was offered the role on Grey's Anatomy. You learn something new every day. Having a long marriage in Hollywood is very rare so kudos to him and his wife. I wish you the best of luck in the contest. Have a great day:-) Alexis
