He managed a key but now-defunct L.A. nightclub called English Disco in the early seventies.He was the subject of a documentary by late filmmaker George Hickenlooper entitled Mayor of the Sunset Strip which told the story of a groupie-turned-kingmaker with a knack for making friends in the music industry. He was described as a "famous groupie, now respectable" by Mick Jagger and he has numerous high-profile friends. In 2007, he was honored with the 2,330th star on Hollywood Boulevard.

Tras ser abandonado por su mujer (Susan strasberg), Paul Groves (Peter Fonda), un realizador de anuncios para televisión, está sufriendo una profunda crisis personal. Busca entonces ayuda en su amigo John (Bruce Dern), pero a éste sólo se le ocurre incitarlo a consumir LSD, una droga alucinógena. La necesidad de evadirse y la curiosidad llevan a Paul a probarla para hacer un "viaje" a las ocultas dimensiones del subconsciente. Escrita por Jack Nicholson, "The Trip" fue la primera película que trató el tema del consumo de esta droga.
Long considered a cult classic, "Mondo Hollywood" captures the underside of Hollywood by documenting a moment in time (1965-67), when an inquisitive trust in the unknown was paramount, hope for the future was tangible and life was worth living on the fringe. An interior monologue narrative approach is used throughout the film, where each principal person shown not only decided on what they wanted to be filmed doing, but also narrated their own scenes. The film opens with Gypsy Boots (the original hippie vegan - desert hopping blender salesman), and stripper Jennie Lee, working out 'Watusi-style' beneath the 'Hollywood' sign -- leading into the 'sustainable community' insight of Lewis Beach Marvin III, the S&H Green Stamp heir, who lived in a $10 a month garage while owning a mountain retreat in Malibu.
