Never knew the story of Sal’s murder. It was so senseless. His murderer sentenced for 51 years just to be paroled after 11 years is outrageous. No real justice for Sal. Murderers should never be eligible for parole. Sal still had so much more to give and live but got robbed of his life by a total stranger. So sad. Love the guitars and everything on Sunset. Always love seeing Jah. Thank you for sharing about Sal’s murder. May he be resting in peace. God bless you and Jah. Y’all are such a blessing to others.

I had just seen him in his New Play, "Fortune And Mens Eyes" at the Coronet Theater on La Cienega. In that cast was an unknown young actor by the name of Don Johnson. Sal was about 7 years older than me, but I followed his career for years. It was such a shock to hear the news when it happened. He was a great actor. He already had proven that, but because it was a different time, being gay, or bi was a career destroyer. He would have had a long successful career if he had lived. Thanks for the flashback.

I wonder if they spoke of it while filming Giant? More tragic events occur when the killers wife kills herself. Then the killer gets out of prison after 11 years!
