Product Description:
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 Includes over 60 previously unpublished photographs.

I was very pleased to finally see a book dedicated to the life, career and untimely death of Pete Duel.
When someone dies tragically, especially a movie star, the myth becomes fact and over time the real
story is pushed to the background. Author, Paul Green, tells the REAL story here.
The first hand accounts from the people who knew Pete Duel are plentiful and it's apparent that the
author was completely entrusted by those closest to Duel to tell the story the way ... Read More

I was so happy to find a book on Pete Duel. He was and still is one of my favorite actors. I was so involved in the book I read it in less than a day. I found it very interesting and truthful, I think anyone who is a fan of Pete's should read it and will get a very honest look into the man himself. I think you will find him quite deep, funny,charming, troubled, and a wonderful human being, who is sorely missed.

I remember being so desvastated when I heard Pete Duel had died. This book answers all the questions about him. I wish things had of turned out differntly for Pete.. I doubt that he really meant to kill himself..a horrible accident and mistake..I want to thank Paul Green and Pamela Deuel Johnson for this great chronicle of Pete's life.

In the last 4 weeks I have gone from buying the AS&J on DVD to buying this really good book written by Paul Green. I was 11yrs old when AS&Js came to our shores here in England. Didn't pay much attention to it then as not really interested in westerns being 11 and a girl! I did see re-runs of the show in the 80s just a handful of them. Then saw the DVD for sale and have really enjoyed the show and liked the humour. Then came across Paul Greens book. I have read it in 4 days and felt all sorts of ... Read More

The book has many interesting details of Peter's life that were new to me. Having known Peter in high school and briefly thereafter, I'd always assumed his untimely death was just a trajic accident. I thought maybe he was just too drunk to know the gun was loaded, or some such thing, but after reading this book I'm not so sure. To his credit, Peter was one of the very few high school "upper classmen" to befriend younger students. He stopped for me when I was hitch-hiking a couple of times when most ... Read More
