Film and TV stars and their bikes!

[Canuk]

******* Baker, who started out in the Fifties New York theater scene, studying at the Actors Studio and working with Elia Kazan, takes her Dunelt bicycle for a spin on the pathways of Central Park. The Baby Doll star, signed to Paramount in the mid-’60s, heated up theaters with her portrayal of platinum blond Hollywood icon Jean Harlow (Harlow).

Unhappy with the studio biz, Baker moved to Rome, did a series of Italian horror pics, returning to New York to appear in Andy Warhol’s Bad and continuing to work in TV and film well into the Nineties.

Christopher Jones takes a beater for some casual stunt cycling on a San Diego pier. It’s 1968 and the Tennessee-born actor is making his screen debut as the title character in Chubasco, playing a troubled young man who seeks to set his life straight by working on a tuna boat. Jones went on to star as the rock star/presidential candidate Max Frost in the cult hit Wild in the Streets.

Snipe: “Christopher Jones does a bicycle stunt while relaxing on San Diego pier between scenes for Warner Bros.’ ‘CHUBASCO,’ Technicolor picture in which he stars with Richard Egan, Susan Strasberg, and Ann Sothern.”
