- Ron Rickards was a young actor back in the 1970's best remembered as the estranged gay son of Joanne Woodward in the Oscar nominated film Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams (1973). His only scene in the movie is highly memorable in a flashback sequence where a confrontation between his character and the mother is quite peculiar for it's played in a nightmare-like manner with his best friend (played by real-life ballet dancer Dennis Wayne) making dance moves in the background. Though credited as Bobby's friend it is heavily implied that they are lovers in fact and the mother disapproves it.
Practically impossible to track the actor down when it comes to stage performances or even acting on TV and films, considering the records available, virtually nothing is known about Rickards and why he vanished from screen after a fine performance.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Rodrigo Amaro
- Son of Dale Rickards.
