I'm shocked to hear about Danny Lockin. I had no idea that he was murdered. I was watching Hello, Dolly last night and wanted to know more about him.

I am so sad and distressed to hear that this wonderful talent that brought so much pleasure and delight to so many, should be so brutally taken from this earth before his time. I hope he will rest in peace forever, I can only remember his smile on screen, his golden hair , cheeky green and energetic movements that had such style and grace too. God bless all that knew and loved him. I hope the individual that ended this beautiful life is remorseful in this existence.

I'm a theatre student in college, and I'm preparing to play the role of Barnaby this fall. I watched the movie version of Hello Dolly and loved it. Soon after I started doing character research starting with actor research. To be completely honest, I found out Danny's name through IMDB and then searched Wikipedia and was appalled that the article consisted of nothing more than his notable roles and his horrific death- that's it!
I wasn't even sure whether I should believe it, so I searched further, learned about his life and accomplishments, and found this site. I want to say how much I appreciate the kind of people that would put a site like this together to honor such a great entertainer. I now have a much bigger inspiration to honor and respect in my performance. All the best.

Danny and I met in 1965 at Sacramento Music Circus. We became best friends for years. We had lead parts in Music Man, Take Me Along and 110 in the Shade. Took class in L. A. Hung out all the time when he was in town. I know we met then. I miss him too.

I was just cruising along on IMDb when i clicked on Dannys name, unkknowingly, thinking i wonder what he is upto now. Im shocked and also a little appauled at the sheer cheek and stupidity of some people. How could they dismis clear evidence, wether it was taken unknowingly or not. Just saying that people had seen the sex tortue tapes should be enough. Its sickening. I loved his spirit and vitality on Hello Dolly he's truly amazing young actor. What a sad and tragic death. A life taken from him so soon. RIP Danny. xxx

I just finished watching Hello, Dolly! for the first time, and I got a massive crush on 'Barnaby'. So I went and did some research on him and cried over his tragic death. I love him so much! He will be missed.

I saw Danny in the Broadway production of Hello Dolly when Ethel Merman played Dolly. I was just a kid, but I remember how much fun it was - and then I caught him again on film with Barbra Streisand. Such a talented person! I was broken hearted to hear what happened to him and what a travesty of justice occurred afterwards. Thankfully, Danny will live on long after most of us are forgotten. Rest in peace.

Trinette,
I was one of Danny's private ballet students from 1973 to 1977. I had danced with Jean from the time I was 4. I also studied with Miss Francis. Surely we have crossed paths. I too was at Danny's funeral, never forgetting Jean, in her beautiful ivory dress, taking my hands in hers at the grave site and comforting ME! I was wondering if you have any footage of our recitals. Please let me know. I would give anything to see them. By the way, the name of Jean's dog you refer to was Lady. Best wishes.
