Nan Peterson(1931-2023)

Reminisces about the sci-fi movie, The Hideous Sun Demon (1958), in the book, "A Sci-Fi Swarm and Horror Horde" (McFarland, 2010), by Tom Weaver.

Also for TV, I had done three episodes of Lawman, and I was set to do the continuing role as Peter Brown's girlfriend. It was the same thing: I got a phone call from the Warner Brothers casting director, a proposition, right over the phone! If I wanted to continue in the series, Id have to [go to bed with him]. And that really hurt me, because they all came to watch me at Warners and I would probably have had a contract there. But I refused, and again I was dropped from the part.
