Actor, singer and songwriter Smiley Burnette (1911-1967), born Lester
Alvin Burnette, appeared on vaudeville before joining his friend, Gene
Autry, on the radio show, The National Barn Dance. Burnette and
Autry broke into films together in 1934 (In Old Santa Fe), and they
went on to appear in over 80 Westerns. Burnette, who played Autry's sidekick,
Frog Milhouse, also provided comic relief for other Western stars,
including Sunset Carson and Charles "Durango Kid" Starrett. A talented musician
who played over 100 instruments, Burnette wrote over 300 Western songs,
some of which he sang in his films. After retiring from the big screen in 1953,
Burnette debuted on the small screen in 1958, appearing as a regular on the
TV series, Ranch Party. His best known TV role was as Charley
Pratt (1963-1967) on the TV sitcom, Petticoat Junction. Toned.
