REX ALLEN
Signed black and white publicity photograph of the actor riding his horse
Photograph signed: "Rex Allen", in black felt tip, b/w, 8x10. Rex Allen (1920-1999) was one
of the last of the singing cowboys, but got his start in music, not acting. He began playing
fiddle when he was 11 years old; he also had a short-lived career in rodeo, which ended after he
was injured by a bull. Allen returned to music and became a popular singer on National Barn
Dance on Chicago's WLS radio station. He released his first album in 1949, the same year that
he appeared in his first movie, Republic's The Arizona Cowboy. Originally considered a
possible replacement for Roy Rogers, Allen went on to appear in over 30 movies and TV
shows between 1949 and 1986, including Republic's TV series Frontier Doctor (1958-1959).
He was in 12 movies with Slim Pickens in the 1950s (as well as an episode of Frontier
Doctor). Audiences from the 1960s on may be more familiar with Allen's voice though: He
narrated a number of Disney films including The Legend of Lobo (1962), The Incredible
Journey (1963) and Charlie the Lonesome Cougar (1967), as well as narrating the 1973
Hanna-Barbera adaptation of Charlotte's Web. Allen continued recording into the 1970s and
scored a hit in 1962 with Don't Go Near the Indians, which peaked at No. 4 on the
country charts and No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. Fine condition.
