Harry Connick Jr. On ‘This Morning’

Harry Connick Jr. On ‘This Morning’ — Harry Connick Jr. is a famed actor and jazz musician whose work has spanned movies, music, and television for decades. He rose to fame by providing the soundtrack to When Harry Met Sally…, and his star power skyrocketed from there. He went into acting as well, landing major roles in films like Independence Day, and Hope Floats. On television, he played Grace’s husband on Will & Grace, and one of the ADAs on Law & Order: SVU — also Olivia’s love interest. Harry married model Jill Goodacre in 1994; they have three daughters: Georgia, Sarah, and Charlotte Connick.

Here, Harry is seen on the November 19, 2019 episode UK talk show This Morning, where he discussed his album True Love: A Celebration of Cole Porter, his recent star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame — and what happened when he met Frank Sinatra. Harry claims that after he botched a performance in front of Sinatra in 1991, the singer ‘inappropriately’ grabbed Jill, then his girlfriend, and kissed her on the mouth. Gross.
