Examples of Tommy in a Sentence

1. Joyce Bulifant:

   I was recording a song for ‘The Happiest Millionaire’ when he came down from his office, he put his arm around me and said, ‘I’m going to walk you over to the studio.’ I said, ‘Oh Mr. Disney, that’s so nice!’ I couldn’t believe the special attention. He said, ‘And young lady, I have big plans for you!’ And then he died. It wasn’t very nice of him at all! I only found out now, and even his wife didn’t know, that Disney was working on a series where Lesley Ann Warren and I would be the guides at Disneyland and our boyfriends would be Tommy Steele and John Davison. Wouldn’t that have been fun? But there you go. That’s life. That’s show business.

2. Brady Sr.:

   I was carrying Tommy in my heart the entire time.

4. Dave McGrail:

   Tommy Henvey offered on the spot to assemble a team, the best in the business, to try to create something that would star Macy, so how could I say no ?

5. Roger Federer:
