LANCE KERWIN: 70's TEEN IDOL

Lance Kerwin was a household name in the 1970's. Most everyone knows him from the "Salem's Lot" mini-series. He was the poster boy for teens who dealt with issues of the times. The titles themselves say a lot obout what kind of movies they were: "James at Fifteen", "Children of Divorce", "The Boy who Drank too Much", you get the picture.

Lance was also in one of my top 5 favorite 1970's made-for-tv movies of all time, "THE DEATH OF RITCHIE". This movie will be the topic of another post, as will the other 4 favorites. So, stay tuned!
