ComicBook.com sat down with Gene Simmons, best know by his stage persona the Demon in rock band Kiss, to talk about his new comic book Dominatrix, and he shared a story detailing how Star Wars creator George Lucas stole his nanny!
“I’m minding my own business and the phone rings,” Simmons began. “‘Hello.’ ‘Hi, Gene?’ ‘Yeah.’ ‘It’s George.’ ‘Hi, George. George, who?’ He goes, ‘George Lucas.’ ‘George Lucas. Well, how are you?’ He goes, ‘Oh, I’m really good. Say, listen, I’ve got two kids and I hear you’ve got a fantastic nanny who was a former teacher. I said, ‘Yes. Oh, she’s the finest and we love her because every time there’s a lesson about anything she goes, ‘Here’s the history, here’s why.’ And the kids are really getting a special thing.’ ‘Well, listen, I’d like to hire her. Would you let her go?’ I go, ‘No, I’m not gonna let her go … go get your own nanny.’ … He said, ‘No, no, I need somebody special, and everybody tells me your kids are the most well-behaved and smart and all that. If you let her become my nanny, I’ll get her her own 4000 square foot home on two acres, her own property, and she’ll be set for life, she’ll never have to worry about.’ I mean, what are you gonna do? So, George Lucas stole my nanny.”
