If I had married John, would he have expected me to become a Scientologist?” John had asked her bandmate years ago, as per Hild’s memoir.Her bandmate had replied by stating that “It would not have been mandatory, but it would have been encouraged, put it that way.” The bandmate in question had joined the band at the time and had been married to a known follower of Scientology. In 2018, Didi Conn, who had starred alongside the two in ‘Grease,’ had commented that they had been attracted to one another and had a great chemistry on set.
