Wow those were some informative and thought provoking posts by Phillip and Otto !! The theory that Herb Alpert may have inspired Witco is mind boggling. Regardless I'm really looking forward to "South of the Border" Tiki Oasis.

Ok, back to the "stars"...

Marlon Brando, Elvis Presley,... Good but almost too obvious.

Thanks for the thread Boris, you've given me another internet outlet for all the useless trivia that resides in my brain. :)

How about Master Po ??

Keye Luke was in several Hawaii-themed features including a guest spot on Hawaii Five-O as well as appearing in (James Michener's) "The Hawaiians".

The feature of real interest is his role as a Honolulu Police Chief in 1954's "Hell's Half Acre". This Poly-Noir is significant for a scene filmed at the Waikiki DTBC. Also it's one of two film credits for Donn Beach (he was a technical advisor).

So here's a real trivia question.

What connection does Keye Luke have to modern Surf music ??

(And no cheating by trying to Google the answer !!)
