Met DeForest at the ST Convention held at the Amb. Hotel (LA) in the Fall of 1972. I was 21 and there were three others when we saw Mr Kelly. We went up to him to ask him a question and he was there to get his car and told the attendant to hold on as he wanted to chat with us---he spent close to 40 mins talking about his career---a real human being---Miss him; He, Gene, Majel, and James are cruisin' the Universe together---To Boldly Go----
When he was back at the hotel on painkillers, Jack Elam fetched him down to the fancy hotel club (where the ordinary actors were not usually allowed) for dinner with Sturgess, Lancaster and Ireland. He got up to pay the bill and suddenly had a reaction to the injury and passed out; he woke with Burt Lancaster holding a spittoon for him while he vomited
then Douglas dragged him for a ways and flopped on top of him. After the scene, the director complimented Kelley on the authenticity of the pained noises he was making, then sent him to the hospital when he found he really couldn't get up.
"OLD TUSCON"-Tombstone set? The hill with the sharpe peak looks just like the one that is at that location.

Not that I don't absolutely love De or anything, but I totaly could've done without knowing the vomitting tid-bit.
