I had a nice career and I felt that I should move along, so I went into something else which I enjoyed very much. In the '60s I went into the trucking business with my brother and we built that sucker up to quite an important arena in Los Angeles. I'd always go back and do a TV show if anybody hollered, but then I lost my agent and I just became disenchanted. Hide

They were fast B pictures, but the people were all good. Working at Monogram, the techniques were all the same, except that they would just shoot a lot faster. They didn't rehearse as much, and they'd shoot the whole picture in a week. In a larger studio, it would take three or four weeks to do a B picture. For instance, if you were in a B picture, actors didn't say "God damn it!" or whatever if they flubbed a line. They just kept going, and created their own scene, and the director would let 'em go as long as they wanted. Actually, that was good experience for us, too. Hide
