(SF- legend camille o'grady & robert opel, nephew to robert oppel)
Robert Opel was the San Francisco erotic gallery owner, (FEY WAY GALLERY) and photographer who streaked the 1975 Academy Awards, and his nephew Robert Oppel created an incredible and unusual documentary about him, Uncle Bob, shown June 26 at the Roxie Theater- SF, in which the nephew channels his uncle in a performance that makes for a new type of documentary art form.
He satirizes public appearances, talk shows, performance art, and huge celebrity egos and their compulsively exposed personal lives, and he is on screen doing it naked.

Opel would be proud of his nephew the filmmaker.
