One of my neighbors at the marina many years ago was a guy named Bill Hickman. He was the 'bad guy' driving the Charger. Was a 'driving specialist' in Hollywood. A great stuntman until he hurt his back diving out of the third story bedroom window. There was no retirement program for injured stuntmen in those days. He passed away many years ago after a night of doing what he loved best. Playing cards, drinking, and telling stories. He was George C. Scott's driver in Patton as well..
