Our family lived in Rancho Santa Fe in 1956. We lived at the fire department. My dad was the fire captain/sheriff and my Mom was the Dispatcher. Victor Mature live down the street from us on Fuego (fire in spanish) drive. My dad would patrol his house when he was on location filming. When he returned from filming Victor Mature would come visit my parents, specifically my Mom. She was a great cook and he like to have a good meal and conversation. I try to explain this to the younger folks today and they do not know who he was. I tell them that it was like having Brad Pitt/George Clooney as your neighbor.
Hi Elizabeth! Thank you so much for sharing your sweet story about knowing Vic! You're so lucky to have known him and to have such fond memories of him visiting at your home!
Thank you so much again for sharing your story with us! We look forward to you visiting again!
He seems to have been a very decent and down to earth person. I am certain that it was pleasure to know him and associate with him as you did. I enjoyed his movies.
God bless.
