Hollywood icon and cowboy champion, 79, who was married to Aretha Franklin makes rare outing in LA... can you guess who?

An Emmy-award winning acting legend who was married to Aretha Franklin and now has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was spotted during a rare outing. 

This star got his start as a child actor on Broadway, sharing the stage with the legendary Sidney Poitier in A Raising In The Sun in 1959. 

Now, decades since originating the Broadway role, he has become a certified star.

At age 79, he remains active and thriving in the industry. 

Perhaps you've seen him on  How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Burlesque, Super 8, The Way Back, The Wire, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom and Rustin, Horizon, Peyton’s Place, Cooley High, Queen Sugar, and A Different World. 

Outside of Hollywood, he owns a 20-acre ranch and is a skilled horseman who has also competed in rodeos. 

Can you guess who this star is? 

 If you guessed Glynn Turman, you are correct! 

Turman was seen out in Los Angeles last week, running errands at CVS and heading home with luggage (and his trademark cowboy hat on). 

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Turman for comment but hasn't heard back yet. 

Keeping a low-profile with a baseball cap, few may immediately guess that the man casually running errands is a major Hollywood star 

The winner of numerous NAACP IMAGE Awards, Turman received his first Emmy in 2008 for In Treatment followed by a nomination for How To Get Away With Murder in 2019. 

In recognition of his impact, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a ceremony attended by Ava Duvernay, Don Cheadle, Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass, and even Beyonce's mother Tina Knowles. 

Turman starred in a campaign for Beyonce's Ivy Park denim collection - where he put his horseback riding skills on display while clad in a stylish denim jumpsuit. 

Horseback riding has been a major passion of Turman's since he was a teenager and he has competed at rodeos over the years, even getting inducted into the Western Heritage Multi-Cultural Museum’s Hall of Fame in 2011. 

The cowboy even owns a ranch with his wife Jo-Ann Allen in Lake Hughes.  

Turman has been married to Jo-Ann since 1992 and is also became a father of four from his previous relationships. 

In total, Turman has been married three times, including to The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin.

The couple were married from 1978 to 1984 and had no children together. 

Days before her passing in 2018, Turman visited his ex-spouse on her deathbed alongside Stevie Wonder. 

The actor said his former wife was 'strong until the very end' before her death left millions of fans around the world devastated. 

'We were just both on the plane to pay our respects, both trying to hold onto the hope that everything would be alright,' he told ITV's Good Morning Britain after her passing. 

Turman said when he arrived at Franklin's Detroit home, her carer gently shook her and said "Aretha, Glenn is here."

'She woke up, opened her eyes and made contact. It was a wonderful thing to see,' he said.

'I could tell by the look in her eye, she knew it was me.'

'I was holding her hand at her bedside, holding her wrist,' he said. 

'Her pulse was so strong and full of life. Her breathing was such a defiance of what was attacking her.'

Turman said Franklin, his second wife, had a 'great sense of humor' and was 'always cracking jokes.'

'She had a repertoire of jokes she would try out on anyone,' he said.

'There are some, but I can't tell you what they are. She could make a situation funny... it would crack you up.

'She was full of life, a very curious woman, she wanted to try things.'
