From Prairie Players to Hollywood: Galesburg’s Dieterich Gray loses home in California fire

Just because the California wildfires are no longer claiming the top national headlines doesn’t mean the impact of the disaster isn’t still being felt by local residents.

Among those affected is former Galesburg resident Dieterich Gray, who has been living and working in Los Angeles in the TV and film industry for many years.

Galesburg native Dieterich Gray and his partner Anna lost their Altadena, California, home during the Eaton Fire.
