OCTOBER 26, 1996
Charles Grant walked into a Mexican fast-food joint with his mind on a burrito and got sidetracked by the sight of Anne Jordan, sitting with a friend and her pal’s two children. “I noticed her when I walked in, and I thought ‘God, that woman is really beautiful,’ ” says Grant. Jordan and her friend noticed him too and sent one of the children over with a note scribbled on a napkin. “Are you single, married or divorced?” it read. He wrote “divorced” and sent the paper back. Jordan, an entertainment lawyer who was also divorced, gave the star of CBS’s The Bold and the Beautiful her phone number, and he called within the hour. The decision to marry came in just weeks. “At the point we were at in our lives, we were both ready for a long-term relationship,” says Grant, who like Jordan, plays coy about his age. “We understood the meaning of what it takes for two people to be together.” They wed on a balcony of the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, lit by the glow of the setting sun and graced by the spontaneous flight of a flock of birds overhead just as the ceremony began. “The only thing I would have done differently was to do it sooner,” says Grant.
