Gene Autry & Roy Rogers

Rare photo meeting of two top cowboy heroes, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, photographed at Nudie's Western Tailor Shop in North Hollywood. Judging from their ages, we're guessing this was taken in the late '50s. Nudie outfitted nearly every screen cowboy hero at one time or another.

Hoppy & Kid

A very young Gary Gray seems to have the drop on Hopalong Cassidy. Note that Gary is holding a Gene Autry cap pistol!
Beginning at age 3½, Gray was a child actor in the ‘40s and ‘50s who was seen in such westerns as “Return of the Badmen”, “Rachel and the Stranger”, “Gun Smugglers”, “Masked Raiders”, “Terror at Black Falls” and TVers “Wyatt Earp”, “26 Men”, “Man Without a Gun”.
Giving up acting when he married, Gary was employed for years in the swimming pool industry. Gary, 69, died April 4, 2006, of cancer.

The Santa Fe Autry visited The Cowboy in April 1950 to discuss Gene filming some ads for the Santa Fe Autry's campaign.
