Kalai Strode was born in Hollywood, California in 1946, the first of the "baby boomers" generation. His father, Woody Strode, was playing for the Los Angeles Rams football team with Kenny Washington as the quarterback. His mother, Luukialuana Kealohapauole Kaluhiokalani, was a hula dancer for the Harry Owens band. They lived in a two story house called "Tortilla Flats" with Polynesian entertainers who worked in the movies as actors and extras, or played and danced at the various clubs in Hollywood such as the "Seven Seas." The family moved to a little farm in Montebello, an eastern suburb of Los Angeles, in 1948. His father was then playing for the Calgary Stampeders in Canada and won the Grey Cup that year. They had a chicken and rabbit farm. His father's football injury caused him to leave the game and begin wrestling. In 1950 the family moved to East Los Angeles, before the Long Beach and Pomona freeways were constructed, when it was still a nice Mexican suburb community.
