This is meant to be viewed as a retro and humorous look at Jerry's early years by filmaker Cathy Cook-----1990. The famous artist, Andy Warhol, said we all get 15 minutes of fame somewhere along the way....Jerry certainly has had his. The press has referred to him as Milwaukee's answer to Sinatra for quite some time. In 1986, Ms. Cook was a film professor at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, when Jerry met her. The concept of his attempts at capturing his 15 minutes--- by skating, doing broadway theatre, modeling, singing, painting, and dancing throughout his life amused both of them, even though he loved doing all of it. Jerry had already turned down many offers in the entertainment business to pursue his career in teaching. He retired in 1999, with an option to return, but decided to pursue his music career.
Ms. Cook has since taught at Sarah Lawrence College in New York City, and is currently based in Baltimore earning grants and awards for numerous independent films along the way. She is a prime example of film success outside of the mainstream including specials on PBS. Jerry is a jazz, pop, and big band singer based in Milwaukee with eight recordings to his credit and continues to paint.
Information on his music career, and a slide show of his artwork, are on his website, www.jerrygrillo.com
His new single, "Lonely," ----2010----is also on YouTube.
