ABOVE PHOTO: Actors James Garner & his brother Jack Garner appeared together in this scene. Jack Garner is the actor wearing the cap and sunglasses standing behind James Garner. Far Right Photo shows Jack without his gas station disguise. Brothers James & Jack Garner appeared together in many of the Rockford Files episodes.

Kilroy's was located at 2820 Main Street, Santa Monica California
ABOVE THREE IMAGES: The Jolly Roger Motel located at 2904 Washington Blvd, Marina del Rey, California - I doubt they let you bring your motorcycles into the rooms anymore.

ABOVE IMAGE: The beautiful actress Laurie Jefferson played Gail Cooper, as seen here on her first date with Jim Rockford. Before the date ends, she will be beat and repeatedly raped by a motorcycle gang. I would have to say one of the worst first dates in TV series history. But the trooper she is, she asked for a second date! What a woman!
ABOVE IMAGE: Actor Bo Hopkins returns to star in his 4th episode of the Rockford Files. In each episode he played Jim Rockford's friend John Cooper. Cooper and Garner had a natural interaction in each episode.
ABOVE IMAGE: 6'6" tall actor Joseph Burke played Rattler's gang member Lenny. The much shorter actor standing to Burke's right is Paul Mace. Mace died in a road accident at age 33 in 1983.
ABOVE IMAGE: The late great Dennis Burkley who we lost in 2013. This was Dennis Burkley's 3rd appearance on the Rockford Files.
ABOVE IMAGE: Actors Jerry Ayres (Died 2013), Andy Jarrell and Ken A. Anderson also starred in this episode.
Great episode with a bunch of great actors. The scene in Kilroy's Tavern is quite memorable. How great is it that the Jolly Roger is still around? Hey, it's a hotel now, not just a motel! How classy!
ReplyDeleteGreat site...I saw this episode today and my googling took me here!
ReplyDeleteGreat info!
We need a 1978/79 phone book for the scene where John Cooper talks to the citizen and then drives off to Kilroys. I see "Mutual Escrow" on the right side of the street. The left side has stores "Ludlow's Western Wear," "Marcinkus Real Estate," "Marina Pet Shop," "RSVP Instant Printing," and "Discokid" I can't find a hit on google : /
