Interview: Peter Knego

Peter Knego is, a widely-acclaimed maritime historian, dedicated to chronicling and preserving the craftsmanship of  classic ocean-going liners. But what some don't know is his long association with one of music's most acclaimed, but under-appreciated, groups, Sparks, the topic of a recent Netflix documentary by Edgar Wright. In the interview below, he talks about Sparks as well as his mother, Rosalee Calvert, who enjoyed a distinguished career as a model and actress.

Rosalee Calvert, Model and Actress

"My mother," said Knego, "Rosalee Calvert, was and is a stunning lady.  She was a high fashion model (with the bone structure of Greta Garbo and style of Grace Kelly) and an angel of a mother who has encouraged me in every aspect of life."
