Peter the Hermit, Hollywood Star
Al Dickson has kindly contributed this beautiful portrait of Peter the Hermit, whom he befriended as a child in Hollywood. He recalls:
I think that he had been in some sort of show business or theater in the distant past. He had the booming voice of a Shakespearean actor....Peter could hitch-hike everywhere without worry. Fortunately, our house at 2047 Cahuenga Blvd was on the way out of Hollywood, so it was easy for him to stop by for a quick visit. Our house was displaced by the building of the Hollywood freeway in 1947. So our visits stopped.
