Actor
Supplemented his income as an Employment Claims Assistant for the California Employment Development Department. During the 50s he worked in the Hollywood office, paying Unemployment checks to Hollywoods out-of-work rank-in-file. He remembered when the studio system kept tight control over the stars paychecks. In those days you had to appear in person to get your unemployment checks. Many Monday mornings the line at his counter window was filled with stately men dressed in black uniforms with caps. As each got closer to the head of the line, he would dash outside to a waiting limo, a door would open and into line would pop Cary Grant, Tyrone Power or Errol Flynn. This money was enough for ordinary people to pay the rent, or it could pay for the princes of the silver screen to have lunch at "the club".
