DUEL
- The whole wild west is looking for Heyes
alias Smith! He's wanted for bank robbery, train hold-ups and
general bad doings! Pete Duel, the real name of this adorable
outlaw is wanted too--by the oodles of fans he's winning each
week on ABC's Alias Smith and Jones. What is the real
Joshau Smith alias Pete Duel like? Well--he's a gentle, nature-lover
who enjoys the simple things in life. Pete's idea of fun is getting
into his camper-truck and taking off for the wilderness. Usually
Pete goes to California's High Sierra mountains, where he fishes,
camps out in a pup tent and just enjoys nature. Sometimes he
heads for the dry wastelands in Neveda, exploring old mines and
ghost towns. There are many times, though, when Pete likes to
stay home in his two-room apartment in West Hollywood, eating
health foods and reading political science books. The real Pete--like
his alias Joshua Smith--is six feet tall, weighs 155 pounds and
has light brown hair and brown eyes. And here's the grooviest
news of all--they're both bachelors!

- Curry alias Jones is the other half
of this outlaw team who are trying to mend their ways and become
model citizens. The real-life Jones, alias Ben Murphy, is already
a model--of fabulous good looks and terrific talent! Like Pete,
Ben is a bachelor. He likes to take his dates swimming, horseback
riding, to plays and movies and to his San Fernando Valley apartment
where he can show off his cooking talent. Ben really enjoys putting
on the chef's hat and sizzling up a charcoal-broiled steak on
his outdoor barbecue. This five feet and eleven inch, 170-pound
doll has got a brain as well as brawn! Blond, baby blue-eyed
Ben is rarely without a book. He loves to read, especially the
classics and contemporary philosophers like Jean-Paul Sartre
and Kahlil Gibran. Ben also loves to travel and he's gone across
the U.S. and to Canada and Mexico, soaking up experiences that
he's put together in scrapbooks. He hopes someday to write a
book about the people he's met and the zany adventures he's had.
Like the author--the book will probably be a model of literature!
