TV-Movie Pin-Ups, December 1971 Pete Duel: One of the great loves of Pete's life is animals and he's proved it in many ways. There was the time he jumped into the freezing waters of the Hudson River to save a strange puppy. And while he was filming The Psychiatrist, he took home a bird that had a broken leg and gave it the best of care. At home, he's surrounded by three faithful pet dogs and any other stray animals that find their way to his door.

16 Magazine, December 1971 Are you tough enough for a very individualistic, very private kind of guy? Are you rough enough to stand by your own thoughts and ideas, no matter how much they may disagree with your guy's? If you gave a strong, solid yes to both of these questions, then maybe — just maybe — you're ready for love with Pete Duel! Pete himself is a very rough and tough kind of guy. He's a rugged individualist who will fight to the end for a cause, a principle or a person he believes in. He doesn't understand "copping out" or ... Read More

Teen World, December 1971 Unlike some performers who radically change the way they live when they become stars, Pete Duel continues to live in a simple manner. Originally he called home a one-and-a-half room apartment perched on top of a garage — now he's moved to larger quarters that are a bit more rustic and a lot more suited to his nature-loving disposition. One quick glance about the place assures you that he keeps himself just as busy off screen as he does on. But his activities are quite different from those he engages in as a TV outlaw. "My role as ... Read More

by Terry Harris; Screen Parade, August 1967 The blackest days of Peter's life were the ones when he thought he'd take his own life. Here's the starting story of why he wanted to — and why he finally decided not to! It was a hard temptation to resist.

So what else would you expect with parents like these? Motion Picture, August 1967 Living on a rooftop for a year can give a guy a different perspective on life. It's like getting a bird's-eye view of the mass of humanity below, with all its hustling and fighting for a buck, and deciding it's not worth the effort. Better to do what one wants to do, and have fun doing it. So it should come as no surprise that Peter Deuel is dedicated to exactly that kind of life. But this attitude was instilled in him long before he took up residence ... Read More
