In his recent documentary,“I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not,”Chevy Chase opened up about his first love, Blythe Danner. The two dated for about two years while attending Bard College in the 1960s, and during that time, they formed a jazz band that played together, igniting their passions for the arts. Danner, who studied acting, flourished post-college, while Chase transitioned from aspiring doctor to a comedic icon on“Saturday Night Live.”
Chase reflects fondly on their time together and describes Danner as a“great woman,”highlighting how their college romance had a lasting impact on both their lives. For Danner, Chase was her“college beau,”and she acknowledged that their shared love for music fueled her aspirations for a career in acting. Almost fifty years later, these stories of young love remind us how early relationships can shape our futures in unexpected ways. It’s a sweet reminder that sometimes, the echoes of our past romances can resonate throughout our lives. Have you ever thought about how a first love has impacted your journey?
