Biografi
Jim Henaghan was born on March 9, 1943, in Los Angeles, California, USA, as James O'Farrell Henaghan, Jr. He was the son of James Henaghan, a writer for the Hollywood Reporter, and the renowned dancer, actress, and singer Gwen Verdon. James Henaghan, Sr., a friend of the Verdon family, impregnated Gwen when she was about 16 or 17. At her family's insistence, she married him, lying about her age to do so, but the marriage was brief. Needing to work, Verdon pursued her career with her parents' support, while young Jim Jr. was mostly raised by his grandparents. Details about this time in Verdon's life are scarce, as she rarely spoke about it.
As a young man, Jim followed his famous mother's path, trying his hand at acting and writing, achieving modest success during the 1960s and 1970s. After his career declined in the 1970s, Jim stepped away from the spotlight, entering the plumbing business. He purchased a plumbing store in Encino, California, and later acquired a restaurant.
