EDWARD'S UNIVERSITY LINDEN CHILES MARY MOODY NORTHEN THEATRE Truman Linden Chiles was born in St. Louis and spent his early years in Barrington, Illinois, a suburb of presents Chicago. He says, "My folks were born and raised on farms but left to go on to college and become teachers. Growing up in a small town was nice enough I guess, but BEYOND TH ·E HORIZON my favorite place was my Grandpa's farm in southern Il­ linois. I spent most of my summers and vacations there. I liked it 'cause there was always plenty to do and lots of by Eugene O'Neill uncles and aunts and cousins AND my parents left me alone." Guest Star Mr. Chiles attended Purdue University to study engineering but soon fell in love with the theater and l LINDEN CHILES transferred to North Western where he graduated in jour­ nalism. He has this to say: 1 "My Dad was just deadset against my becoming an actor so I took a major in journalism and worked in the adver­ SCENIC DESIGNER tising business in Chicago. Finally back in Chicago after a stint in the Army, I realized GARY VAN DER WEGE the ad business was not for me. My wife and I moved to Los Angeles so I could go to graduate school at UCLA. I was 28 at the time and a lost soul not thinking about acting at all. But then one of my teachers, who was a film director, saw me do a scene in class and COSTUME DESIGNER he got me my first job in the old RAWHIDE series." Mr. Chiles pursued the career for 6 or 7 years, was under contract to Universal Studios, SUSAN LOUGHRAN did several films and a slew of TV shows including 2 series-and then burned out. He states:" And I dropped out. In 1967 or so, I left the business and I went to live in a com­ mune in the Santa Cruz mountains, where I meditated every day and focused on my LIGHTING DESIGNER spiritual interests. Of course it finally came to an end and I came down off the mountain. MICHAEL MASSEY I remarried and moved to New York to do a soap opera. But it was never the same; the business had lost it's lure. And now I've developed a real antipathy for it. Fortunately I love the work (acting) and that has saved me." SOUND DESIGNER Mr. Chiles has done an innumerable number of films and television shows, including 3 series in which he starred as a regular: EAST SIDE/WEST SIDE, with George Schott, RICK MISHLER BANACEK with George Peppard and JAMES AT 15, with Lance Kerwin.

Mr. Chiles has also done 3 plays in recent times: THE MARRIAGE GO ROUND, with his } JACQUELINE JONES, JENNI BREWER close friend Marla Adams, now on GENERATIONS, HEDDA GABLER, playing Judge KELLY MEGOWN Brack, and WEEKENDS, a new play with Howard Morris that was a flop. At present, Mr. Chiles lives in a home that he and his ex-wife and 2 sons designed and 1 built over a period of 15 years up in the mountains north of Los Angeles. He says: "Our place is out in the country. It's not a farm but it's very much like my DIRECTED BY grandpa's place. I live with a bunch of people . There are 8 of us and we have several buildings on the property beside the main house where people live. My youngest son, Chris, has his MELBA MARTINEZ­ blacksmith shop out in back and there's a chicken coop and an outhouse, a big garden and a number of fruit trees. MISHLER And like my grandpa's farm is a real homey sort of a place. The door is open, everybody is welcome and there's always somebody around to talk to or help out with the chores. It's a good life, real simple and basic . My only regret is that my oldest son, Greg, isn't around to enjoy it. He was killed in a FEBRUARY 27 - MARCH 11 car wreck in 1985."
