Gene Simmons Tells The Story of How George Lucas Stole His Nanny From Him — GeekTyrant

Legendary KISS rockstar Gene Simmons recently told a story of how Star Wars creator George Lucas ended up stealing his nanny from him. It all came down to an offer he made that the nanny couldn’t refuse. With the life that Simmons has lived, there’s no doubt that he’s got a ton of wild and crazy Hollywood stories, but one of the stories that he recently thought he’d share is this one:

“I’m minding my own business and the phone rings. ‘Hello.’ ‘Hi, Gene?’ ‘Yeah.’ ‘It’s George.’ ‘Hi, George. George, who?’ He goes, ‘George Lucas.’ ‘George Lucas. Well, how are you?’ He goes, ‘Oh, I’m really good. Say, listen, I’ve got two kids and I hear you’ve got a fantastic nanny who was a former teacher. I said, ‘Yes. Oh, she’s the finest and we love her because every time there’s a lesson about anything she goes, ‘Here’s the history, here’s why.’ And the kids are really getting a special thing.’ ‘Well, listen, I’d like to hire her. Would you let her go?’ I go, ‘No, I’m not gonna let her go … go get your own nanny.’ … He said, ‘No, no, I need somebody special, and everybody tells me your kids are the most well-behaved and smart and all that. If you let her become my nanny, I’ll get her her own 4000 square foot home on two acres, her own property, and she’ll be set for life, she’ll never have to worry about.’ I mean, what are you gonna do? So, George Lucas stole my nanny.” 

George Lucas is just able to do those kinds of things! I know that money doesn’t bring happiness, but it sure would be nice not to have to worry about it all the time. Having nannies stolen from you by George Lucas is definitely rich people problems. I’ll never know what that it like, it’s a good thing we have Simmons here to offer us that kind of insight.
