'Frasier’s Kelsey Grammer's Daughter, 34, Is Like a 'Princess' & Close to Dad after Losing Touch for Years

• Kelsey Grammer, known as Dr. Frasier Crane from "Cheers" and "Frasier," had not been in touch with his daughter Greer for years while struggling with his sister's death.
• The actor got sober and realized his salvation from grief is his family and faith.
• He worked hard to rebuild his bond with his daughter, who looks like a "Disney princess" at 34.

Kelsey Grammer is well-known for his roles in famous productions like "Frasier," "Cheers," and some Broadway plays. While he is also a loving father, he could not always focus on being a family man.

Grammer was reckless in his younger years and struggled with substance abuse issues. After four marriages and seven children, the actor finally decided to turn his life around for the better.

Grammer has faced plenty of tragedy in his life. His father and sister were murdered, his twin half-brothers died in a scuba diving accident, he has three ex-wives with whom he was in a constant state of conflict over custody of their children, and he battled cocaine and alcohol addiction.

When talking about his addiction, Grammer confessed it became his coping mechanism when he could not forgive himself for his sister's death. Grammer's sister, Karen, was murdered by Freddie Glenn, a spree killer in Colorado in the late '70s.

Grammer identified Karen's body and then had to inform his mother that her daughter had been killed. Thirty years later, he talked about the incident, confessing:

"I miss her in my bones. I was her big brother. I was supposed to protect her — I could not… It very nearly destroyed me."

Because he felt he had let himself and his family down when his sister was killed, Grammer felt helpless and said he often "surrendered to despair." Yet this led to him being a terrible father to his eldest children.

His second-eldest child, Greer Grammer, had one of the worst relationships with her father. Grammer admitted that they were never in touch in the early years, and he was not there for his daughter when she needed him.

How Did Family and Faith Become Grammer's Salvation?

In 2011, Grammer left his third wife, Camille Meyer, and remarried to Kayte Walsh. The actor has credited Walsh and his faith with the swift turnaround of his life. He shared:

"This lovely young woman lit up my world and changed my heart, which was a bit calloused and hardened against a lot of things.”

The actor turned his life around in his sixties, saying he felt better at sixty than forty. He admitted that in the most challenging times, he questioned his faith and wondered where God had been when his family was taken from him.

However, he has now accepted his faith and says that being in touch with God has allowed him to overcome his grief and longing for his family and move forward with his life. He is also now there for his children.

Grammer has seven children and said welcoming his three youngest with Walsh gave him a second chance at fatherhood. While he had been too busy in his younger years to be there for his children, now he splits his time between work and family deftly.

While Grammer had trouble finding joy after his family had passed, he now finds joy in his faith and own family. He also ensures he takes stock of the good things in his life. He explained:

"I take a moment out of every morning for a moment of gratitude."

What Happened Between Grammer and His Daughter, Greer?

Although Grammer and his daughter, Greer, were not particularly close when she was growing up, Greer still found a way to become the woman she wanted to be without her father's help. She is now an actor and producer.

However, before becoming an actor and producer, she was a beauty queen. She won titles like Miss Regional California Teen USA 2011 and Miss Teen Malibu 2008 and placed in the Top 10 Miss California Teen USA three years in a row from 2008 to 2010.

She once joked that she is naturally very pale, which sometimes led to her having to be spray-tanned twice before she appeared in a pageant. She remarked:

"It was awful. Spray tans kind of smell. Even when they don't smell, they smell."

Greer had fun on the beauty pageant circuit, but once she reached 18, she knew she was ready to leave the pageant stage forever in pursuit of an acting career. She quit around the same time she filmed the pilot for a series called "Awkward." Since then, she has been following in her father's acting footsteps.

While he didn't share a close relationship with his daughter when she was younger, as he turned his life around, he knew he wanted to build a bond with her as he had with his younger children.

It was not easy to repair their relationship, and Grammer worked hard to be there for his daughter in a way that would mend their bond. Now, the pair are closer than ever and enjoy one another's company.

Recently, Greer took to Instagram to share then-and-now photos of herself at Disneyland with her fans. She shared three photographs of herself at Disneyland in the present, recreating pictures she had taken as a toddler.

Each current photo was followed by the one she had taken as a toddler, and fans loved the contrasts. Some fans believed that Greer was a "Disney princess come to life," and others said how charming the throwbacks were.

Greer gushed that growing up in Southern California meant she always found happiness through the gates of Disneyland. She also mentioned that she had loved the carousel as a child, and it was fun to recreate her favorite childhood photos.

Fans were delighted by the photos, saying how cute she had been as a baby and how beautiful she was now. One gushed:

"You were such an adorable girl and such a beautiful, talented woman!"

Others said she was adorable as a child and still adorable as an adult. Some complimented Greer's outfit in her current photos and wished they could be at Disneyland, too.

Greer has grown into a beautiful, confident woman, and her father finding his faith again has allowed them to rebuild their lost relationship. What a heartwarming story of reunion and faith.
