Luxury from the past ...
Peter Whitney's acting career began in 1941 and lasted until 1970. I can remember sitting and watching television as a child and my parents would point to a surly character on the screen and tell me that it was my grandfather. My most vivid memories of my grandfather were his roles as Captain McBain in "Superman's Peril" and as Lafe Crick in Beverly Hillbillies. Although I don't remember, my parents said we also watched was "The Sword of Ali Baba"
When I began researching my grandfather, I was very surprised to find his career was far more extensive than I had ever imagined. Although he never became a well-known Hollywood actor, his many roles are truly memorable to the historical movie buffs.
