Rodney Harrington (Ryan O'Neill) was a cool dude and of course, lent his name to that fashion staple the Harrington jacket. It became a uniform of the mods and then skinheads of the late 60's and into the 70's.I've had many and in fact have a beige one today. Yep, Peyton Place was a trendsetter and for daytime tv risque and ahead of its time.
