Summary:
When Rodney was a teenager his mother just dropped him off at the home of Connie Stevens and left him. Eventually he landed his first show-business job as a double for Davey Jones on "The Monkeys". Rodney ended up using his skills as a consummate hanger-on and his genuine enthusiasm for rock & roll to become a central figure in the L.A. music scene and is lauded for his good taste and good nature. Rodney is perhaps the least-known celebrity in Hollywood, though somehow every celebrity seems to know him.
