He had a house on Barton Ave in LA that was the "spot" to go to for a time. As for the postcards Rebecca spoke of I have some of those too! They are so cool! Samson never married.

Did you ever see his autographed photo of SARAH BERNHARDT? Talk about a rarity. Kenneth was definitely a gem in the Hollywood treasure trove. And yes, I have some of those cards with that exquisite signature as well. He is mentioned on a bronze plaque on the James Dean bust he sculpted at the Griffith Observatory. Great, generous man. -AB Thanks! Did you ever see his autographed photo of SARAH BERNHARDT? Talk about a rarity. Kenneth was definitely a gem in the Hollywood treasure trove.

I was a friend of KK's. I lost touch with him. Met him through Warren Beath and some other fans I didn't know! Kenneth and I became friends and loved to talk about opera. I am an operatic soprano and I must say, KK knew more about opera than I did! We used to have tea, and talk about James Dean. And one time he took me to the Huntington Museum and gave me a personal tour, replete with anecdotes about every painting! I expressed an interest in those 18th century masters and so he gave me a beautiful book about them. I moved away to CT for many years....he used to write and send those priceless fabulous postcards with his glorious signature. I moved back to CA a couple of yrs ago and tried to find him. Oh I am too late. I miss my friend. He was an exceptional talent, a truly brilliant person and a lovely and dear friend. Thank you for this tribute!!! He deserved much greater recognition in life - his work was and is so alive! Oh wow… I was a friend of KK’s. I lost touch with him. Met him through Warren Beath and some other fans I didn’t know!
