He also helped to create and produce special features for the popular NBC television show Real People. From this work comes California Characters, a collection of stories of intriguing, eccentric, or simply amazing individuals profiled by Hillinger. Many of these people have strange occupations, live solitary lives in remote locations, or collect, build, or design an assortment of odd things. Characters like Down the Road Dugan, Sweetwater Clyde, Dr. Tinkerpaw, Spaceship Ruthie, and Warmly Ormly will delight, amuse, and perhaps inspire the listener with their tales and reasons why they've chosen to live the lives they do. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Eccentrics and eccentricities|zCalifornia|vBiography. 651 0 California|vBiography. 700 1 McKee, Dennis.|4nrt 730 0 hoopla (Digital media service) 914 MWT10028323
