Part 3/8:
Among the notable figures of this era was Jerry Lee Lewis, who hailed from Faraday, Louisiana. By the age of 21, he was already twice married, a reflection of the cultural norms of the South where young marriages were prevalent. Myra, at only 13, became enmeshed in this chaotic world when her father flew to New York with Jerry and his band for a live television debut.
As Myra watched her father and Jerry perform on the 'Steve Allen Show', her admiration for him grew. However, unbeknownst to her, Jerry was developing romantic feelings for her, blurring the lines between idolization and infatuation.
