JAY "TONTO" SILVERHEELS
Photograph Signed: "Is this me?Whew!/Jay Silverheels" in blue ink. Sepia. 8x10. Actor Jay Silverheels (1912-1980), born on the Six Nations Reservation in Ontario, Canada to a Mohawk chief, is best known for playing Tonto, the Lone Ranger's faithful Indian companion, on one of television's most popular westerns (1949-1957). A former star athlete, Silverheels went to Hollywood as a stuntman in 1938, usually playing stereotypical roles as an Indian in a number of feature films before first teaming up with Clayton Moore in 1949 in the feature film, The Cowboy and the Indians. Later that year, he was cast as Moore's sidekick in the TV series, and he would appear as Tonto in two feature films: The Lone Ranger (1955) and The Lone Ranger and the Lost City of Gold (1958). Following the series, Silverheels appeared in several feature films, including Alias Jesse James (1959), True Grit (1969) and The Man Who Love Cat Dancing (1973), and he made numerous appearances on the small screen, appearing primarily in Westerns, but also guest starring on such series as The Brady Bunch (1971), Love, American Style (1972) and Cannon(1973). Silverheels' own health began to fail in the late 1970s, and he died of a stroke in 1980. Scattered creases and one word crossed out by Silverheels. Tape residue on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
