4. When Joan was starring on The White Shadow, Teddy referred to himself as the “househusband.” They were married and the twins had just been born. In a 1980 People Magazine interview they said that the fact that Joan was making more money at the time than her husband was, it was an adjustment for both of them. Here’s what they said about it:
Teddy: “As the man, I feel I’ve got to bring something in every week.” Adds Pringle: “It’s a matter of my handling it too, because I’ll start thinking I’m the big hotshot. We’ve had to thrash it out, but Teddy’s as open a man as I’ve ever met.”
