http://imdb.com/name/nm0647005/Stephen Oliver, the scowling, pompadoured Vic Morrow lookalike who
starred in Russ Meyer's "Motorpsycho" and played the town thug Lee
Webber on "Peyton Place," is dead. Life imitated art: Oliver was
married to Lana Wood, who played Lee's town-tramp wife on the show,
for about five minutes.
After "Peyton Place" he moved on to co-star in another soapy Fox
series, "Bracken's World," as one of the aspiring acting students at a
fictitious movie studio.
