Photograph signed "John Hart". B/w, 10x8. Still from the TV
series Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans (1957), based on the James
Fennimore Cooper book The Last of the Mohicans. Hart starred as Nat
"Hawkeye" Cutler.American actor Hart (1917-2009) had over 100
credited and uncredited roles on TV and the big screen. Baby Boomers probably
remember him best as the Lone Ranger. Hart, who was a cowboy before
becoming an actor, had numerous roles in westerns, including small parts
on TV's The Lone Ranger (1950-1953), before being offered the role
in 1952. He replaced Clayton Moore, the series' original Lone Ranger, for
52 episodes when Moore was fired for demanding a higher salary. In one
interview, Hart claimed that all 52 episodes were shot in a matter of weeks,
with each episode taking only two days to shoot. Hart forged a close
relationship with Jay Silverheels, who played Tonto, and his cowboy training
helped him to ride the Lone Ranger's horse Silver, whom he said was jumpy and
difficult to ride. Hart went on to other roles, including parts on Bat
Masterson, Rawhide and Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans.
He played another masked hero in The Adventures of Captain Africa, a
Columbia serial intended to be a sequel to The Phantom but which had its
name and hero changed after Columbia lost the rights to the character. He
also played the Lone Ranger for one episode of Happy Days and was
cast as a reporter in The Legend of the Lone Ranger, the movie
adaptation of the Lone Ranger story. Fine condition.
