8 H'WOOD BACHELORS TELL "WHAT A WANT FROM A WOMAN"
Movie Stars, August 1967
Peter Deuel: "When I think of the term 'nice girl,' it brings to my mind one who can be compatible with me and my desires and interested in how I feel. While I don't believe in the double standard intellectually, it's a different story emotionally. I do feel that if a girl has committed herself to a relationship with me, then I must in turn commit myself to her, in so far as being faithful.
The danger that exists in getting romantically involved at too young an age is ... Read More

Teen Pin-Ups, April 1972
The two crouched behind a bush at the top of a hill. It was hot: the sun beat down on them, and there was very little breeze to cool the air. Pete Duel, a pair of binoculars up to his eyes, looked down the hillside. At what? Was he girl-watching? Bird-watching? Spying?
Suddenly he turned toward Ben Murphy next to him and raised his arm, then brought it down again on Ben's shoulder. Ben, losing his balance, tumbled through the bush and down the hill, rolling over and over and over himself until he landed, still, at the ... Read More

"Imagine," he says to himself, "those guys have the same trouble that I do!" Suddenly the stars are no longer the remote god-like creatures their publicity has made them seem. They become flesh-and-blood human beings trying to make their own way in the same tough and agonizing world.

Since Kim Darby's meteoric rise as an actress, reporters have been pounding at her door. When they do get to see her, they walk away with the image of a girl who's basically shy. They write stories about "the insecure Kim Darby," "the man-shy Kim." They point out that Kim's parents were divorced (a bitter divorce, too) by the time she was two years old and that Kim lived with her father's parents, seeing practically nothing of her mother till she was seventeen and very little of her father.
So, the interviews leave you with ... Read More

Pete Duel: Success hasn't changed Pete one bit. In fact, he appreciates the simple pleasures in life more than ever now.

That's why he packs his bags and heads for those wide open spaces every chance he gets!
