Judy Greer thanks Ashton Kutcher for buying her father a Harley-Davidson, and unwittingly saving her parents’ marriage.
The actress writes in her memoir, “I Don’t Know What You Know Me From,” how she was shooting a pilot for a TV comedy, “Miss Guided,” produced by Kutcher’s Katalyst Films. During filming, the “Two and a Half Men” star asked Green what she would do if ABC put the show on the air.
“I would buy my dad a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. He really wants one,” she replied.
Months later, the show was added to ABC’s fall schedule.
At the network’s upfront, Greer was approached by Kutcher’s assistant, who handed her an envelope. Inside were a card, a photo of a Harley and a message: “Call this number to arrange pickup.”
Greer delivered the bike to her dad and it replaced an old boat he kept in the garage that was the subject of many fights between her parents.
“Ashton saved my parents’ marriage,” Greer wrote. “He did help end a 30-plus-year argument. Maybe next, Ashton could help my dad get the taxes turned in on time.”
