Book Overview

Actor Pete Duel, most widely known for his starring role as outlaw Hannibal Heyes in television's Alias Smith and Jones, led an unpredictable and often tumultuous life, a fact best characterized by his highly publicized 1971 suicide at the height of his television celebrity. This extensive biography delves beyond such familiar events as Duel's career and death to reveal more personal aspects, including his political involvement and environmental activism. Organized chronologically, the biography features extensive personal interviews with Duel's closest family and friends, including sister Pamela Deuel Johnson and former girlfriends Jill Andre, Beth Griswold, Kim Darby and Dianne Ray. Plus exclusive interviews with close personal friends, actors, producers, directors and writers who worked with Pete Duel.

Includes complete episode guides for his work on TV's Gidget, Love on a Rooftop and Alias Smith and Jones and an extensive filmography. Includes over 60 previously unpublished photographs.

Lots of details in this book

I just bought this book in June and finished it a few days ago. It had lots and lots of detail about Pete Duel’s life, from his childhood and family backgrounds, his high school years, and then his college and tv and movie career. There were a few times I got a little impatient to get to the Alias Smith and Jones period, but it did keep me turning the pages. If you are a big fan of Pete Duel and want a detailed discussion about his depression, alcoholism, and other personal struggles, this book won’t disappoint.
