RIP - "Beach" Dickerson (1924-2005)
While idly browsing through the internet movie database tonight, I belatedly found out that one of my favorite Roger Corman-American International Pictures bit players/miscellany crew members/producers passed away in early December. Biographical information is limited, so I’ll link to Variety’s medium-length obituary.A Jack of All Trades who even designed and built Corman’s office building for either his New World Pictures or Concorde-New Horizons, Dickerson remained in the Corman camp until the early 1990s. His last appearance was as a Hotel Clerk, according to the IMDb, in a Don “The Dragon” Wilson vehicle, produced by Concorde-New Horizons.
Pictured above is Dickerson as The Kid, a promising pugilist with an overzealous manager and a girlfriend who just wants him to quit the fighting life, in Rock All Night (1957). It’s probably his largest role.
He'll be fondly remembered by those emotionally invested in b movie fare.

I knew Beach as a kid....he was a friend of my family and my father worked with him several times in low budget films. I remember him as an amazingly genial and gentle man...funny....warm.....and always smiling. I havent thought of him in years....nice that you posted this.
