John Stamos Parents: Who were Loretta Philips and William Stamos?

Loretta Philips and William Stamos were the parents of American actor, John Stamos. William was a second-generation Greek-American restauranteur.

John worked for his father’s restaurants and as a teenager, had a job flipping burgers in the Orange County area. He attended John F. Kennedy High School and played in the marching band there.

When he was just 15 years old, he attended his first Beach Boys concert; a huge fan, he would later tour with the band. His parents were very supportive of his aspiration to be an actor as well.

Even though he planned to enroll at Cypress College for the 1981 term, he skipped his first semester to focus on launching a career as an actor – with his father’s blessing.

John Stamos is known for contributing to several songs. Some of these songs include Forever, and Getcha Back. Won One, Forever, 10,000 Years Ago, Lullabye, Do It Again, Finally, It’s Christmas, and more.
