Not much is known about Charlie Sheen’s relationship with his first wife, Donna Peele, but the actor offered rare insight into their brief marriage when writing his new memoir.
Sheen, 60, wrote in The Book of Sheen — released on Tuesday, September 9 — that he has Parliament cigarettes to thank for his past relationship with Peele. The former couple met while filming a 1994 commercial for the brand and, according to Sheen, he “became totally smitten” almost immediately.
Sheen invited Peele to stay with him in Los Angeles after their shoot, and the rest, as they say, is history.
“We spent two fabulous weeks together like a couple of teenagers on spring break,” Sheen recalled. “I could feel something different with her that I hadn’t enjoyed in quite some time.”
