8/19/60. 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. Three filing holes and four tack head-size holes at left.
