After college, George had very odd jobs. One was selling men’s suits. One was cutting tobacco in Austin, Kentucky. His aunt Rosemary Clooney (a famous performer) helped him along the way. When George first went to Hollywood and L.A. he had no money, at all. So, his aunt let him stay with her. She helped and encouraged him to be what he was meant to be, an Actor.
