Campbell, Glen
(1936.04.22- )
Musician, singer, actor.
 Lives in Phoenix and has
a home in Flagstaff
By the time Glenn Campbell got to Phoenix, he was an
established recording star (By the Time I Get to Phoenix, 1967; Gentle on
My Mind, 1967; Wichita Lineman, 1968; Galveston, 1969; Rhinestone Cowboy,
1975), a veteran television star (The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour,
1969-1972; The Glen Campbell Music Show, 1982-1983), a co-star with
sometime Arizona resident John Wayne
in True Grit (1969), and a star in a less than memorable movie (Norwood,
1970).

 He also had, according to People
magazine, "descended into a hedonistic world of whiskey, cocaine and
women." He had an affair with and later married singer Mac
Davis' wife, Sarah. When he was in his mid 40's he met the 21 year
old Tanya Tucker. They
shared a year long volatile, cocaine-enriched affair.
Salvation came in the form of a Radio City Music Hall dancer
he met on a blind date in 1981. He married Kimberly Woollen the next
year. In a remarkable evolution during the 90's--sparked by an
ultimatum from Kimberly--Campbell reportedly gave up drugs and
booze. He was more likely to be sniffing the fresh desert air on the
golf course with friends like Alice Cooper
than snorting white powder.
In 1996, Glen built a 8,300 square foot home on the golf
course in the Biltmore Estates community, where he was living with
Kimberly as of 2003. In 2005, he sold the Biltmore Estate home for
$6,475.000. He also owns a home in the tony Forest Highlands golfing
development just outside Flagstaff.
