James Handy’s girlfriend, Wendy Gledhill’s rare photo sparked engagement rumours
According to The New York Post, James Handy’s girlfriend, Wendy Gledhill, is 76 years old, which makes her five years younger than her deceased boyfriend. The woman was in a live-in relationship with him, living at his house with her son, also his murderer, Michael Gledhill. Hours after the actor’s murder, she broke her silence about the tragedy to The California Post outside her home this morning. It was probably at that time that the media houses took some shots of her and published them online. James, who kept his life beyond acting highly secretive, never mentioned having a lover. It was only after his sudden passing that the world learned about his personal life.
