Bald Cult Member

Mervyn "Buck" Edwards was born in 1937. He was named after director Mervyn LeRoy, who did such classics as Gone with the Wind (1939) and The Wizard of Oz (1939). Mervyn's father was a prop man for Warner Brothers studios. Edwards got his start in the motion picture business working as a go-fer for his dad in the prop trailer, when he was still a little boy. He then worked as a location manager on several television series and was a production assistant on several films and TV shows, which included Maverick (1957), Cheyenne (1955) and Hawaiian Eye (1959). In 1973, Mervyn produced the offbeat and perverse low-budget horror picture, Love Me Deadly (1972); he also did an uncredited polish of the script and appears in a small role as a member of a creepy corpse-loving cult. Edwards was the location manager for The Muppet Movie (1979) and handled production manager chores on both The Stone Boy (1984) and The Vegas Strip War (1984). He not only was an assistant director for the films, The Competition (1980) and The Bear (1984), but also for various episodes of the TV series, Little House on the Prairie (1974) and Remington Steele (1982). Mervyn Edwards died on November 13, 2007 in California.
