On an aside to the Bullit piece, here's another six degrees of Mulholland.
Bill Hickman(stuntman who wheeled the charger and played himself) was a plank owner in Cal Club back in the fifties. His backround in road racing paved a path to the studios where he had a very prolific career. On his way to an SCCA event in Salinas, he came upon a bad accident on old hwy 46. It was his friend and fellow racer James Dean, who was also en route to the event. Dean had recently purchased an RSK spyder fron Johnny Von Nuemann's competition motors,and had spent the previous week lapping on Mul learning the car. The story has it Dean give his last breath in Hickman's arms by the side of the road. It was shortly afterwards Phil Hill came upon the accident,another local lad intimate with Mul who would become america's first F1 champion half a dozen years later..
