Robert Melvin “Lucky” Luck was a familiar name in local entertainment to Hawaii residents, but his birthplace was actually Waco, Texas.
Lucky’s fascination for Polynesia began while he was a US Marine stationed in Pago Pago, Samoa.
There he mastered the language enough to serve as an interpreter during World War II.
Honolulu later became his home, and he raised his family here, while he became a favorite media star of the 1950s and 1960s.
