Michael Nesmith: The Monkees star dies at 78
With the group, the singer and guitarist had a string of hits and starred in a TV sitcom in the 1960s….
Nesmith was raised by a single mother, a secretary who enjoyed a sideline in painting. As electric typewriters became common, it became harder to correct mistakes, so she created a paint at home that matched the typing paper in her office. The invention later became liquid paper, known in the UK as Tipp-Ex.
