The Cinderella Cart & Uschi Digard

Gary Littlejohn was a stuntman and actor. Moreover, he was also a chopper builder, custom BMX bicycle creator, and still is an all-around good guy to know.

He's most famous for being one of the first (if not the first) guys to make a rigid BMX frame and producing Littlejohn sidehacks to go with them. Gary also made his mark on Southern Cali choppers through the '60s, '70s, and '80s. He created chop jobs using his own frames and tanks, and supplying them to many builders of the time. He wasn't so narrow-minded as to go all V-twin, though. Harley, Triumph, and Honda motors all found new homes in his projects. A lot of those scoots ended up featured in all the chopper mags, too.

His devotion to custom iron and close proximity to Hollywood also led him into the film industry. You can see him or his work in a variety of movies, ranging from the biker movies of the '60s and '70s to mainstream flicks like The Mask and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. He still gets stunt coordinator work, only now he's based out of Vermont instead of Los Angeles, and builds hot rods as well as motorcycles.

Sometimes credited as Uschi Digard, this shapely Scandenavian Goddess was born in the mid-1940s in Stockholm, Sweden but spent her childhood in Switzerland. Beautiful inside and out, Uschi came West to serve as a translator and soon found herself in front of the cameras in late 1968. With a shapely bod like that, things happened fast and within a year she was everywhere, magazines, movies, and more.

She became associated with Russ Meyer and appeared in CHERRY, HARRY AND RAQUEL and SUPER VIXENS. Uschi appeared from time to time with a blonde-bearded man in couples scenes in the late 60s/early 70s, and some early 80s mag appearances feature some soft-erection simulations but Uschi ever did true hardcore.
