Raised in North Hollywood, his father worked as a wheelwright for Glen Randall rental studios supplying horses and wagons to the movie studios. my daily routine was to ride horses after school. My favorite was the paint used by Little Joe of Bonanza and weekends were filled with deliveries to the studios. Lunch at Desiy Lous cafeteria, with Gun Smokes cast at the table next to us. I always want be a star, but we were poor!
