Jeff Fenholt

Jeffrey Craig Fenholt (September 15, 1950 – September 10, 2019) was an American musician, singer and actor.

Fenholt released several solo recordings, including a successful cover of Graham Nash's "Simple Man"^[1] (not to be confused with Lobo's "A Simple Man," which was released at nearly the same time^[2]).

An article in the December 1998 issue of Vanity Fair reviewing Ian Gibson's biography of Salvador Dalí, detailed Fenholt's past as a "boy toy" for Dalí's wife Gala Dalí. The article by John Richardson was titled "Dali's Demon Bride" and was unsparing in its criticism of both Gala and her husband. The article was not much more kind to Fenholt than it was to Gala; according to the review, Fenholt became Gala's lover when she was in her eighties, and secured in return "a sizable house on Long Island... and large sums of money."^[3] Fenholt was outraged at the depiction of Gala, and wrote a scathing letter to the editor, stating the authors had no evidence to substantiate their depiction of Gala Dalí.
