Tinseltown Talks: Hank Garrett s transition from tough guy on the streets to the screen Nick Thomas As outlined in his recent autobiography, From Harlem Hoodlum to Hollywood Heavyweight, Hank Garrett will be the first to admit he s lucky to be alive. There were days growing up in a tough Harlem neighborhood in the 1940s and 50s where street violence was a regular threat. Later, he faced brutal matches as a professional wrestler and months recuperating in a hospital bed after a horrific car crash. But Garrett endured, eventually finding success in Hollywood co-starring in a hugely popular early 1960s sitcom as well as numerous other TV shows and movies often cast as the heavy. And for that, he remains indebted to one of the world s greatest entertainers.
