Pete Duel
& DIANE Welsh: THEY'RE TRYING TO SAVE THEIR LOVE
by Will TusherMotion Picture, February 1972
We're all victims of habits, some of them pleasant and others not the least bit pleasant at all. Losing a habit that brought you joy can be just as painful as being unable to shake one that you detest. This tried and trying truth was recently revealed to pete , the stern and handsome star of the popular television series Alias Smith And Jones.
Upon first meeting pete Duel , you are not prone to believe that all of this will have a happy ending. The brooding silence of his face as he puffs and exhales on what, he will tell you, is only one of the cigarettes of a long, long day suggests a hopelessness and despair that, though speculative, seems well founded on his part. It is only through talking with him at length that you realize here is a man who will let nothing he believes in fall prey to defeat.
Nothing illustrates his strength of character and sincerity better than the history of his romance with Diane. They first became attracted to each other because of two idealistic concerns: ecology and health foods. Pete will still tell you that he finds it inconceivable to become emotionally involved with a woman less ecology motivated and aware than Diane. "I don't see how I could become interested in a woman who didn't give a damn about ecology. She would obviously be a very stupid woman or a very cruel woman with practically no sensitivity."
For ecology Pete comes on with the evangelical fervor of an Elmer Gantry. He assails public ignorance and apathy, government complacency and corporate ruthlessness with quixotic fervor. But he doesn't let this interest cripple his social life.
"I talk about it only if the subject comes up," Pete told me. "I don't walk into a room full of people and say: 'I've got a speech to make!' I like to have fun, too, for God's sake. Naturally, nobody likes a preacher at a party. But, as I said, if the subject does come up, as it often does in a normal conversation, it will hit a certain area. Then, very naturally, I'll say something either in reply to a question or a statement made. It all happens very naturally."
Pete readily affirms that their affection for one another, their sense of harmony, the comfortable and loving feeling they had together, all derived from their devotion to these two causes. In fact, they had many times operated as
A couple.

HE'S ALIAS SMITH OR ALIAS JONES--but either way it's not the image that seems to fit Pete Duel by Judy StoneTV Guide, May 15, 1971
In 1965, Peter Elstrom Duel had a private five-year plan. Five years in Hollywood to show his stuff, and then back to Broadway to name his price and his play. Instead he mushed through the goo of Gidget , suddenly whipped into political action and then subsided into a Zen Like meditation. .
Now he
stars as Hannibal Heyes in Alias Smith and Jones, ABC's new humorous Western series. Heyes is a wide-eyed safe-cracker in the dying days of the Old West. He wants to go straight, more or less, and win amnesty along with his pal, Ben Murphy. Murphy is the cool gun toter. One is alias Smith, the other alias Jones. Which is which doesn't really matter.Duel plays it Puckish, displaying his dimples.
Except that it's the wrong image for the real . Duel There's nothing either clipped like the new name or ingratiating like the new character about the introspective young man. He lived, until lately, in a state of congenial clutter in a $65-a-month, one-and-a-half room garage-top apartment in a middle-class Los Angeles neighborhood. [He has since moved to larger, more rustic and ramshackle quarters, but equally simple.--Ed.]
Duel is wary about interviews. "This is a part of the business I find amusing and also frightening," he says, pushing his straight, longish dark hair behind his ears. Wearing blue jeans and a blue-and-white T-shirt, he sits in an antique rocker, bare feet tucked under him. "There's a kind of reality to all this press-personality myth, but fame in show business is not in proportion to actual achievement. What happens so often is that things get out of sync."
Duel's determination to preserve a certain privacy shows when he introduces his girl, Diane.Welshrst name only, please, they both met on the set of Alias Smith And Jones. She is tall, slim, serene-looking, with long brown hair and a long, intelligent Modigliani face. She had been working as a TV producer's secretary when they met on location for The Alias Smith and Jone's set.
