Johnny Johnston (December 1, 1915 – January 6, 1996)[1] was an American actor and singer who was popular in the 1940s.

One of his marriages was to actress Kathryn Grayson[3] at an August 22, 1947 ceremony in Carmel, California.

[5] On October 7, 1948, the couple's only child, daughter, Patricia Kathryn "Patty Kate" Johnston, was born.

On October 3, 1951, Grayson was given a divorce from Johnston on the grounds of mental cruelty.

[6] Johnston's This Time for Keeps co-star, Esther Williams, claimed in her 1999 autobiography that while making the film, Johnston would read Grayson's intimate letters aloud to the girls in his fan club, including the "all-too-graphic details concerning what she liked about his love-making.
