Before Olivia Benson on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” there was Honey West, a crime-fighting private eye on television in the 1960s.
And before Honey West, there was Gloria Fickling, a writer, dancer and Laguna Beach resident. Fickling inspired and molded the character of Honey West through a book series she created with her husband, Skip, in the 1950s and ’60s under the name G.G. Fickling. |
The character and her real-life inspiration will appear Saturday at the Newport Beach Film Festival in a short documentary titled “Honey West: The Gloria Fickling Story.”
