GENE AUTRY. Photograph signed: "Gene Autry/8-1-85". B/w,
8x10. In the year he signed this photograph, Autry appeared in All
American Cowboy, which featured a number of familiar faces from westerns and
country music, including Chuck Connors, Johnny Crawford, Ken Curtis, James
Drury, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, June Lockhart, Jock Mahoney, Charley
Pride and Clint Walker. The previous year, he had been seen in archival
footage in the documentary, Cowboys of the Saturday Matinee, and he would
be featured in another documentary, Bad Girls in the Movies, in 1986.
Gene Autry (1907-1998), the original singing cowboy, appeared in his first
western in 1934. He was the only western star to be listed among the top ten
moneymakers from 1938-1942. In 1942, Autry was nominated for an Academy
Award for Best Song for "Be Honest With Me" from his film, Ridin' on a
Rainbow. The Gene Autry Show was televised on CBS from
1950-1956, and The Adventures of Champion, which starred Autry's
horse, also ran on CBS from 1955-1956. Scheduled opposite the popular series,
Rin Tin Tin, it was cancelled in mid-season. Autry's business
interests included a radio and TV chain, ranches, oil wells, a flying
school, a music publishing company (he wrote 200 songs including "Here Comes
Santa Claus") and the California Angels baseball team. Black mark at upper
blank margin. Fine condition.
