an article by Richard Valley and Jessie Lilley featured interviews with Bryan and Ursula Pearson, who revealed that Graeff and David Love/Chuck Roberts were romantically involved.

Graeff is also the subject of several media projects, including a biography called Smacks of Brilliance,[5] and a documentary entitled The Boy from Out of This World.
