“William Arnold Pearl was born in Prineville on October 31, 1930.” He moved with his family, which included his two siblings (one brother and one sister), to Yakima, Washington, when Pearl was young. “From a young age, Bill Pearl identified with the skinny, weak character portrayed in Charles Atlas commercials, which boasted the benefits of weight lifting and bodybuilding. Inspired by sibling rivalry and the desire to become like Charles Atlas, Bill lifted gallon cans of vegetables and gunnysacks of potatoes while working in [his father’s] restaurant.”
