He was a major hunk! He and Joanna Pettet were married for 20 years, they were friends with Sharon Tate and I believe are the only two who really WERE at Sharon's house earlier in the day before the Manson murders.

R2 Joanna was at the Tate/Polanski residence for lunch, but Alex is not mentioned in Helter Skelter or referenced in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

I first crushed on him in the 70s when He appeared on the 4 O’clock Movie airing of Genesis II, a failed Gene Roddenberry sci-fi tv pilot.

Apparently he was horribly abusive to Joanna and her son (I think he was biologically Terrence Stamp's?) who tragically died young. She's on Facebook and is basically celebrating.

Damn, he was handsome as a younger man. And a full head of hair until the end.

I'm sorry to hear that r9. Not that she's celebrating, but that he was an abuser. Sad that she stayed with him for so long.
