Did You Know?
Personal Quote:
[on making Doomsday Machine (1972)] It really could have been a sweet little picture, you know, but it was done on twenty-nine cents. But we really had a ball making it, and this was the early seventies when we all had huge hair, I mean when I think of that movie now and wonder... I could have floated off into space with that hairdo.Trivia:
Attended and graduated from Hollywood High School in Los Angeles, California (1954). See more »Star Sign:
