1:02:02
athletic, full of promise.
1:02:07
He excelled on
his high school swim team.
1:02:11
He went to Bradley University
on a diving scholarship.
1:02:16
I think he started drinking
out there and having,
1:02:20
you know, just hanging out
with the wrong people.
1:02:22
Then he injured his back.
And he ended up
1:02:25
losing his scholarship
and coming back home.
1:02:28
He did attempt to smoke
marijuana in the house.
1:02:32
Yeah, he did.
1:02:34
But I put the kibosh on that.
1:02:36
But obviously he was
doing it elsewhere, so...
1:02:39
He really wanted a new start,
a fresh start.
1:02:43
So when he went out to California,
he was 19 or 20.
1:02:47
He wasn't a young 15 or 16-year-old.
He was of age.
1:02:51
He'd gotten a job just to make money
on the Queen Mary at the gift shop.
1:02:57
He did hire an agent.
1:03:00
He did change his name
to Treadwell to be theatrical.
1:03:05
And it was a family name.
1:03:11
I know he got on
1:03:13
Love Connection
with Chuck Woolery.
1:03:15
I think he got on another show.
1:03:19
There were promises made
that never came true.
1:03:22
And he tested with the actors
1:03:25
to get the bartender job
on Cheers.
1:03:28
And allegedly he came in second
to Woody Harrelson.
1:03:33
How close a second?
I don't know.
1:03:36
But that is what
really destroyed him.
1:03:39
That he did not get
that job on Cheers.
1:03:45
He spiraled down.
1:03:51
Timmy used to body surf out here.
1:03:54
He had a boogie board
with the Union Jack on it.
1:03:58
And he was totally fearless.
