One of the most iconic pinup girls of the Seventies, Roberta Pedon, is lost to the mists of time and mystery....which makes her story –– or what’s actually known of it, all the more interesting, we think.
Roberta is being discovered and rediscovered all over again.
Probably
born in Ohio (or was it California?) in 1954, Roberta –– not her real name –– grew up in some sort of Argentinian or Latvian or Italian or Portugese Jewish household. And from what we’ve heard, her mother was an overbearing woman, so Roberta claimed her grandmother as the one adult in her childhood she was most fond of.
In the early Seventies, Roberta moved to San Francisco and claimed that she’d allegedly graduated from a Bay Area high school. What we do know is that she was living in the city with some lucky dude in ‘72 before a brief few months in Washington state, followed by a move to Venice Beach by early ‘73.
For roughly two years, Roberta adopted the character of a free-spirited hippie for most all of her photoshoots and the few bits of film work she produced. The embodiment of the quintessential fantasy hippy chick –– the hot girl with the easy smile, the near-comic book proportions, the headband, the bellbottoms and lack of hairy armpits –– worked well for her.
“Melody O’Hare,” “Roberta Weaver,” “Robin,” “Mooschi,” “Sam,” “Robbie” and just plain “Roberta” were all names she worked under in magazines. While Roberta tried to break into Hollywood as a legitimate actress, the closest she got was a few alleged affairs with none other than “Hogan’s Heroes” wonderboy, Bob Crane and Moses-turned-damned filthy ape-hater/lover, Chuck Heston. But not much is known of her since the mid-Seventies.
It’s been claimed that Roberta had been seen as late as ‘79, when she was picked up on her way to a shoot of some ill repute in Southern California, but legend has it that she was just a shadow of her former self: drugs and homelessness had apparently taken their toll on the hippie vixen.
Rumors of Roberta’s death
may
have also been exaggerated: some claim she died in Oakland, CA in ‘82, some say it was ‘84 or ‘85. Others claim that she’s not dead at all, rather she was involved in a bank robbery, changed her name once again and is still on the lamb. Still others state a specific date of July 30, 1982 as the day of her reckoning.
