Chevy Chase looked back on his formative relationship with Blythe Danner in his 2026 CNN documentary, I'm Chevy Chase and You're Not. "Blythe Danner, that was my first real love," Chase confessed in the Marina Zenovich-directed documentary. The two dated for a few years while they attended Bard College together in the 1960s. While they went their separate ways after graduating, Chase and Danner took crucial steps in their future careers while performing jazz music together in college.
