Bobby Sherman, once the heartthrob of the late 1960s, chose a different path, transitioning from a teen idol to a lifesaver. Rising to fame with hits like ‘Little Woman,’ Sherman’s popularity soared, gracing lunchboxes and magazine covers worldwide.

In a 1996 interview, Sherman reflected on his commercial success, calling the merchandise featuring his face “a collector’s item.” Amid his teen idol era, he recorded albums, achieved gold and platinum singles, and starred in the TV series ‘Here Comes the Brides’ alongside David Soul.

However, in 1974, a guest appearance on the medical drama ‘Emergency!’ sparked a transformative moment. Trained in CPR, Sherman felt a calling to help others, stating, “If I’d be driving down the street and there was an accident…I’d help.”

In 1992, he joined the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) as an EMT, eventually becoming a Captain. Sherman found fulfillment in saving lives, expressing, “There’s not a better feeling in the world than when you’re responsible for saving someone’s life.”
