Jerry Thorpe

Jerry Thorpe was a wonderful mentor for me. He supported and encouraged my desire to direct, which was and is difficult for women. It is so sad to know he passed away on my birthday in 2018, and in Santa Barbara, a few years after I moved to Santa Maria, CA, about 90 miles away. I tried to reach him in Palm Springs but never connected with him or his family. I wish I could have visited him in Santa Barbara. I will always be grateful and honor him for his belief in me and his graciousness to...

Jerry was a mentor for me when I was a script supervisor. He knew I was interested in directing and encouraged me to pursue it.

I tried to reach Jerry in Palm Springs about 7 years ago but couldn't connect. He died in Santa Barbara on my birthday in 2018 while I was living in Santa Maria, 90 miles away. Wish...

Thinking of Diane , Trevor and Jerry's family .
I was Trevor's nanny when he was born and have lovely memories of being with Jerry, Diane and Trevor over a number of years , as well as the occasional al visit back to California.
Will always be remembered. Jerry was a very kind, gentle man.

My deepest condolences to Diane, Trevor and Jerry's two daughters. Jerry was my customer at Smoketree Secretarial in Palm Springs for at least 10 years. What a kind and wonderful man he was. Sorry this is so late, but for some reason I was thinking about Jerry and Diane today. Many prayers and good wishes to his family. Loretta Clements

Deepest sympathy to Diane,Trevor and Jerry's family.A true gentleman. So sorry to hear of his passing. Thinking of you all.

I was Jerry's barber for many years. I just heard of his passing. I'm so sorry I didn't attend his service. He so loved his family. He will be missed. RIP my friend.

Hoped to get the services. Fires in LA detours us. Long, long ago, when I was young, we had some adventures. I, a starting writer, he directing. Many lessons learned, some intensity, and minor mayhem, that in retrospect has only become rich with largely appreciation. I am grateful. Sorry to have not seen him in decades, and hope his last 28 years in Palm Sorings were blessed.
