Al St. John Official

About

  • The biography

The biography has been in progress since 2012 based on the research performed by leading authority on Al St. John, Annichen Skaren. At the present time there is enough material for a detailed biography on St. John, both the private person and artist. Taking into consideration that there are many unexplored resources left, the research will continue until there is a certainty that most of the information have been retrieved, and the story seems consistent. As many have wrongly portrayed St. John in the past, resulting in the loss of films and persona, the project strives to deliver a biography that can right the wrongs of the past, and further secure Al St. John’s place in history as the pioneer he was.
