Pete Duel believes in simple living. He lives in a small, plain apartment over a garage in West Hollywood. Pete's favorite way to travel is in a four-wheel drive camper. When he's crossing the country he drives if he has the time and camps outside rather than staying in a motel.

"Call me baby-snatcher," smiled lithe six-foot Peter Deuel, "but it's true. At 20, I picked a girl of 13 for my bride." Pete's smile is wondrous to watch. It begins with a pair of dimples and gradually broadens out into pure radiance. This ill-starred brush with matrimony, he explained, was due to the efforts of his enterprising sister, Pam. "I'd been four weeks in the hospital because of an auto accident, and was bedridden in my parents' living room. I was a college man at St. Lawrence University, and considered myself quite the ...

When Peter Deuel, who stars as Dave Willis, the male half of the newlywed pair in ABC's Love on a Rooftop, finishes his day in front of the cameras with his bride in the series, Julie (Judy Carne), he goes home to his typical bachelor pad.

For the first time since television took the pledge to eschew crime and violence for the straight and narrow path, a new western series is upon us.

Pete Duel, who plays Smith to Ben Murphy's Jones, objects to the word "thieves." He ... Read More

Didya know that Pete Duel is a real nature boy? 'Tis true! Pete's idea of getting away from it all is to climb aboard his camper-truck and head off for the wilderness. Pete's favorite spot is somewhere up in California's High Sierra mountains.
He's even considering buying land there — at an elevation of 8,500 feet! Pete would be able to pitch his pup tent only six months out of the year, though, cos the rest of the time the land is completely covered with snow and is totally inaccessible! Wow — when Pete wants to ... Read More
