prune picker

This is the blog of a prune picker. (Native born Californian) Retired oilfield. I am an old man. I blog a lot about my body and getting old. As I approach death life gets more interesting. More interesting is not good. I still drive. I attend sports, music, and civic events. I am writing my memoirs. I attend swim class three times a week. Some of my blogs might be interesting. A lot of my blogs are silly and trivial. None are very long.

Dick Powell was born and raised in Mountain View, Arkansas

One of my readers requested the Mountain View address of Dick Powell. I went to the house and took some pictures.The picture shows that the house number is 220  South Main.

Dick was big in the movies when I was growing up in Pomona, California. For several years he was a song and dance man. When that career slowed  he was successful as a tough detective type. He played the lead in the first Phillip Marlowe movie. He made hundreds of movies.

He was married at different times, to Joan Blondell and June Allyson.
