HAZARDOUS TO MY HEALTH - THE MARLBORO MAN I KNEW

Hazardous To My Health- The Marlboro Man I Knew    Aloha, my name is Charles and I want to tell you all about a new book that my wife Marcia has just written. It's a true story about the kidnapping of her and her four and five year old children by Claude Hall, the third man to be used in the famous Philip Morris Marlboro Man advertising campaign.
    Claude was a Hollywood actor from 1962 to 1968 and portrayed the Marlboro Man from 1963 to 1966.
He was in Rawhide, with Clint Eastwood, Big Valley with Lee Majors, Bonanza and many films including Viva Las Vegas with Elvis Presley and Ann Margaret, Commancheros with John Wayne and many others. The Hollywood scene along with Philip Morris black balled Claude as they obviously realized that he was a very bad apple. Neither industry has anything to say about Claude Hall. Nothing in the archives at all in his name.
    Claude was a very successful night club owner in the late 60's to the late 70's. He had a club in Manhattan Beach, CA. called Cisco's with partners Clint Eastwood and Dickie Smothers, A club in Waikiki, HI. called The Red Noodle With Dickie Smothers and a club in Lake Tahoe NV. Claude had my wife and children kidnapped in Hawaii when he operated The Red Noodle. He just had his Samoan bouncers and body guards just move them into his home in Hawaii. No questions asked, just moved them!
    This man was very famous and was a sociopath with gut wrenching sexual fantasies and was nothing more than a monster behind closed doors. The needle on his moral compass had fallen off. He told Marcia about him being Maffia connected and that he had been a hit man in the past. He terrified Marcia with the threat of killing her mother or her father, or the kids if she ever tried to leave him. Marcia got the message loud and clear. Marcia was beaten senseless numerous times with many trips to the hospital.They were absolutely terrified of him
    This true story is not about cigarettes or smoking, It's about abduction, rape, fear, faith, forgiveness and survival... And survive she did. For four long years she survived. By the grace of God they are alive today. Now after decades of silence, Marcia is finally telling her story. An unbelievable story that you just have to read.
    From the nightlife of Waikiki to the sleepy little fishing village of Playa Zancudo, Costa Rica, this true story has it all. Hollywood's best screenwriters could not have come up with a better film script than "Hazardous To My Health". They say that truth is wilder than fiction, well you be the judge.
    Marcia is so grateful for her and her childrens survival, that she thanks her God every day for the happy, fruitful, prosperous lives that her kids live today. She is absolutely over joyed with her five precious grand kids.
Google Marcia N Hill - Hazardous To My Health to view all the four and five star reviews the book has gotten. We also have a facebook page, Hazardous To My Health and our web-site http://www.hazardoustomyhealth.com. You can e-mail Marcia at www.marcianhill@hazardoustomyhealth.com and tell her your own hazards in life and your soulutions.
    Life is very good and I am married to a wonderful, loving and caring person who has went through a living hell, but never lost her faith in her God. Oh yes, there was an unbearable time when she had a failed attempt at suicide, followed by a lot of thoughts of homicide that kept haunting her and creeping in. We truly do hope that you will look at the book, and if you purchase it please pass it on as we feel that domestic violence needs to stop. Thank you all so very much for your time.
    Aloha and many Mahalo's
         Charles and Marcia

  1. I was in lake Tahoe 1977-1980 and dated Claude. He even took me to the Smothers winery very in Santa Cruz hills. At that time he was living on a horse ranch in Minden AZ.
    He never threatened me, but I knew he was twisted. He took me to a Bill Cosby show at Harris casino, we went back stage before the show. Cosby spiked my drink with trail mix.
    Crazy how things fall into place.
