Brock Chester(1947-1971)
- Actor
Brock Chester was born in Wichita, Kansas, on March 10, 1947, and moved
to Pacific Palisades, California, when he was four. He graduated from
Palisades High School in 1965, having played both baseball (won the
captain's trophy) and football (named All-Western League End and won
the most-improved player award). He originally had plans to coach
football, but a chance encounter with an agent at a gym steered him
into television commercials and guest appearances. He died on April 28,
1971, at Veteran's Memorial Park in Monterey, California, having
intentionally overdosed on alcohol and barbiturates.
