Our Dinner with Charles
Regarding the death, on June 16, of Charles Webb, 81, talented and enigmatic author of The Graduate.
Charles was in England when he died, where he and his wife, Fred, had lived until her death in 2019.
What may not be well known is that this unique couple, who repeatedly eschewed the trappings, financial and otherwise, of their affluent families, and, especially, the fruits of Charles’s celebrity, also had some history in Santa Barbara and Carpinteria.
