Rodeo rider Winifred Maurice Harrison (1920-1990) was given the name SUNSET CARSON by Republic Studios, for whom he starred in a number of western films in the mid-1940s. He starred in his own film series, beginning with The Sheriff of Cimarron (1945). He hosted a TV film revival series, Six Gun Heroes. PEGGY STEWART (born Peggy O'Rourke in 1923), who appeared in many films, mostly Westerns, from the late 1930s into the 1960s, was one of Republic Picture's leading ladies in the 1940s. Tired of being cast in serials, she left Republic, but continued making occasional films. Stewart later appeared in several made-for-TV movies and was a guest star on a number of TV series, and she made stage appearances in the Los Angeles area. Stewart, was married to actors Don "Red" Barry (1940-1944) and Buck Young (1953 until his death in 2000). Carson and Stewart appeared together in many Republic Pictures westerns between 1944 and 1946, including Firebrands of Arizona, Oregon Trail, Bandits of the Badlands, Rough Riders of Cheyenne, Days of Buffalo Bill, Alias Billy the Kid and Red River Renegades. Both were popular on the film nostalgia circuit. Fine condition.
