Gerald Peters
Gerald Peters was a British film actor living in Marina Del Rey and working in the Hollywood film industry.
He was the owner of London Towne Livery Service Ltd. (a limousine service) in Beverly Hills. His silent partner and most important client was Elvis Presley. Gerald was the only one who Elvis permitted to drive him. Elvis kept a 1955 white Rolls Royce and a Mercedes Benz 6 door stretch limo, and a custom made 1950s era Cadillac Station wagon at London Towne and permitted Gerald to use them in the business, provided Elvis had first call. The Mercedes had a refrigerator, wet bar and B & W TV in the back. When Elvis gave those Cadillacs away, Gerald's drivers delivered them. Some of Gerald's clients included NBC for the Tom Snyder "Tomorrow" show, Jennifer Jones, Norton Simon, Kirk Douglas, Joanne Woodward, and Paul Newman. One of Gerald's drivers was Ronald Gardner who was Anthony Newley's stepfather.
