Have any of the authors here interviewed Dean Stockwell? I came across an article on the Internet that quotes Mr. Stockwell during the time Kim was being filmed and the quotes are quite crude. I've come across other crude quotes by others who knew Errol and wonder why he would say such things to preteens, his own son included! Maybe that is why he gets such a bad rap. Whenever I bring up his name my friends just shake their heads. I still don't care . . . I am a fan.

Kathleen, thanx for your post. I dont think it's any secret that Errol indulged in some risque humour but in regards to his working relationship with Dean Stockwell…the young actor held Errol with high admiration.
Young Stockwell was so unflappable it took Errol all of his ingenuity to effect a prank (his usual modus operandi) on the young chap ! As for those who shake their heads…you have many here who will nod theirs !! All the best for the New year !!

Hi Kathleen, Could you tell me exactly what the comments were? Don't worry, I'm far from being a preteen so I won't be shocked. Thanks! John

Hi Chris, I so agree with you. I am shaking and nodding my head at the same time!! I do think that Dean Stockwell is “no worse for wear” with his experience with the great EF.

John here is the link where I found it. www.sheilaomalley.com…
I've reread and do find it amusing (just still shocking that he would speak that way to a preteen and in front of women he hadn't even met, let alone one of them being Stockwell's mother!!).
