Hi everyone, I came across this web site, tvdads.com, and there is an interview with Peggy Sweet (Peggy) and she mentioned Pernell briefly...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jim - Yeah, he was like - not quite a Sam Peckinpaw, but he was known for - in his time, he was known for his violent feature films. Very adult-themed kind of, Mickey Spillane-type pictures.
Katie - That's what I have kind of a - - sense of this, as being like that. As I remember, it was - Glenn Corbett was the male lead. I remember him. He was a very handsome man. But I'll tell you: the guy who was just the *best* was Pernell Roberts. And I think there was something - it might have been on your website - that "there was no chemistry between Pernell and Kathie Browne but, boy, the chemistry was with Katie Sweet and Pernell Roberts." He was a family guy, he had kids of his own - - and he *liked* me! We would play Frisbee with the film cans. You know, when they used to use the real film, there were kind of big metal...
Jim - Sure, 35 millimeter --
Katie - flat cans. Yeah, and they would take them apart, and, you know, toss them like Frisbees. He'd play ball with me, we'd toss the baseball and stuff. And he was just sooo cool. The thing about being a child -- there was no -- nobody was going to make any points with anybody "buddying-up" to me. I was a kid. I didn't know anybody, I didn't have any "pull" with anybody important, really. And there were a handful of people, through my career, who were just way cool and just *spent time* with me, in spite of that.
