Burt Reynolds explains the finer points of something to Glenn Wilder.
The stunt men and radio crew await directions to start up the hill.
MOORPARK, CALIF., Oct. 7, 1970 - The flim crew for ABC's new Dan August
series - a show starring Burt Reynolds and revolving around the actions of a
small-town, California Homicide detective - came to Bay Mare today, bringing along
a handful of stuntmen for a hill climb scene to appear in a forthcoming episode.
The hillclimb is quite incidental to the plot of the show, but you'll still be able to
see desert ace, J.N. Roberts, negotiate his Husky most of the way up the hill (if they
don't edit it, that is). Also, stunt coordinator, Steve Barrett does a very neat,
on-purpose endo, just before reaching the top, while Ron Rondell m~ it over on
his Rickman. Stuntrnan-Actor, Glenn Wilder gets shot at the beginning of this
particular episode and the house where the crime was committed burns to the
ground.
The crew built the house especially for the burn scene, and, with any luck at all,
Bay Mare's Man-for-all reasons, Walt "The Colonel" O'Dell, was able to save the
structure before it was totally destroyed.
