    I read that she was the only adult actress/actor to transition her role from the movie to the TV series. I also did not realize that her husband in the movie was played by the ventriloquist Edgar Bergen (Charlie McCarthy.)

    Sharon Stone in The Quick and the Dead. Drew Barrymore in Bad Girls.

    Any Audie Murphy Western.

    John Wayne is a favorite also, as is James Arnaz.

    I remember him too. Can't believe what she did, she's amazing. If I watch any with her now, I will certainly remember.:) Didn't know he was her husband either.:)

    She must be a great shot. Some people are just born with natural-born talents. Maybe that's it, Cody.

    My dad was a paraplegic who looked a bit like Lee Marvin in the face. He was sitting at an airport bar and someone had put his crutches up for him. A woman came and said "YOU are LEE MARVIN!" My Dad said no he wasn't. She kept insisting and finally 'forced' him into giving her Lee's autograph on a napkin.
    Never arrestedo_O
    I like a number of heroes already listed. I liked Tom Selleck as Quigley. Chuck Connors, The Cartright boys and the Lone Ranger. Very sad they took his mask and livelyhood.

    Yeah, I can believe it, one of our grandsons looks a lot like him too.

    Tom Selleck.

    Clayton Moore - 1914 - 1999.
    Actor. His best-known role was that of The Lone Ranger on the television series of the same name. Born Jack Carlton Moore, he grew up in Chicago, Illinois, and started as a circus acrobat at age 8, appearing as an aerialist at the 1934 World's Fair

    DAUGHTER DAWN REMEMBERS CLAYTON MOORE ON HIS 100TH BIRTHDAY Dawn and Clayton at the Cowboy Hall of Fame 1990 The first time I saw Clayton Moore in person was the day he got his star at 6914 Hollywood Boulevard, on the Walk of Fame. His is the only star of the more than 2000 which also names the character that brought him fame. In 1996, my wife and I actually got to shake his hand. It was at a book-signing for his autobiography, I WAS THAT MASKED MAN, written with Frank Thompson. It was at the biggest bookstore in the San Fernando Valley, Bookstar. Once a movie theatre, the line stretched from Moore, seated at a table in front of what had been the screen, all the way through the orchestra, across the lobby, past the box-office and onto Ventura Boulevard. (Incidentally, if you’d turned right on Ventura, then left at the next corner, Laurel Canyon, you’d be at the entrance to Republic Studios, where Clayton had been ‘King of the Serials.’) While we waited for our turn to meet the man we’d both grown up watching portray history’s greatest champion of justice, we were struck by the number of men in line, in military and police uniforms – in front of us was a CHP officer with his helmet dangling from his arm. The atmosphere was electric – voices all around us announced that watching Clayton Moore as The Lone Ranger had inspired them to go into the Army or the police department.

    Kirk Douglas passed away on February 5, 2020. He was 103. RIP, Jack As Jack Burns, 1962 youtu.be/RDKGx3lOXkQ Jack Burns: Oh, it's easy to understand. A westerner likes open country. That means he's got to hate fences. And the more fences there are, the more he hates them. Jerry Bondi: I've never heard such nonsense in my life. Jack Burns: It's true though. Have you ever noticed how many fences there're getting to be? And the signs they got on them: no hunting, no hiking, no admission, no trespassing, private property, closed area, start moving, go away, get lost, drop dead! Do you know what I mean?
