Frances Tomelty stood by him when he was just a struggling teacher, only to lose everything to her closest friend. Today, Frances is a respected actress in her own right, known for her work in series like Merlin. She chose to rebuild her life away from the shadow of her ex-husband's fame. While Sting and his lover Trudie remain a “power couple” the story of Frances reminds us that behind every "rock star" rise, there is often a person who provided the ladder and was left standing in the dark once the summit was reached. True character is found in how we treat those who helped us when we had nothing. Success doesn't change people; it merely unmasks who they truly were all along.
