John Brown attended Mckinley High School In Honolulu, Hawaii. He would have graduated with the class of 1946. John
dropped out of high school, to help his widowed mother in trying to support the family. Those were very difficult economic times.
The family lost their home, due to a fire; and John helped to rebuild the family home. He lost a sister at aged 14, who suffered
frequent chronic ear infections, and also a few years later; another sister at age 18, who died of kidney failure. John was
the youngest child. He was very close to his mother, and took care of her, until she died at the age of 70, due to a stroke. John’s
father passed away, when he was 2 years old. He grew up without a father, and his Mother took the place of both parents.
His Mother was his whole world. She taught him about the Lord, and his commandments......This was precious to him.
After his Mother’s death, John fell into a bad depression, and isolated himself; and tried to deal with his loss of his Mother.
John had many other events in his life, and he did go on to become Mr. Hawaii; and held other titles. He became very
successful in the field of bodybuilding, and physical culture; and professional wrestling. He did some work, in the movie industry.
The movie was Seven Women From Hell, which was filmed on the island of Kauai. John worked behind the scene,
taking care of movie set equipment. This movie was a war drama, about seven women trying to escape from a Japanese
prison camp during WWII in New Guinea. This movie was released on October, 1961. John Kerr, Patricia Owens, Caesar
Romero, Denise Darcel, and also Yvonne Craig. This movie loacation was also used for the movie Bali Hai. John enjoyed
the new employment, but to him.....it was just another job. It was just a coincidence, that Cesar Romero and the young
new starlet (Yvonne Craig) would star in the remake, of the Batman TV series, as the joker and Batgirl.
