I'm gonna start a series of former celebrities who over the years...went to relative obscurity...I think it's gonna be fun, lol.
Ok...who is Billy Gray?
The kid from the original The Day The Earth Stood Still, that's who...
In July, 1998, Billy Gray settled a libel suit he brought against film critic, Leonard Maltin, known for his annual guides on available movies and videos, worldwide. In all guides from 1974 to 1998, Maltin mistakingly listed Mr. Gray as a real-life drug addict and pusher in the critique of the 1971 film, "Dusty and Sweets McGee." Billy appeared in the film only as an actor. Part of the suit brought against Leonard Maltin required that Mr. Maltin publicly apologize for the 27-year long defamation of character. He did so, during a press conference, on the morning of July 18, 1998.
Billy Gray has been involved in 'Speedway' Motorcycle Racing as a Competitor during the 70s, 80s & 90s. His 'Speedway' Bike was known as the 'Orange Crate Special', then later as the 'Orange Blossom Special'. The name was given to Billy's bike By the Announcer at Irwindale Raceway due to the solid orange rims that Billy used on his 'Speedway Bike'.
Here he is today...on the left with a fan...
