Lon Chaney Jr. Last of The Mohicans?

[rogruth]

Is that Tonto?

[chuck]

That would have been Jay Siverheels, a Native American but from the other side of the Border, aka Canada, specifically Brantford, ON.

[Roy]

This is Silverheels in the 1970's:



I say, not likely. Could it be Floyd Red Crow Westerman? At one of the Hollywood studios? And, is that shirt you're wearing an official Roy Rogers shirt?

[E7]

That fellow doesn't look much like an Indian.......Elizabeth Warren's Pop????

Lon Chaney Jr. Last of The Mohicans?

I just looked up Lon Chaney Jr., and I think you're right. However, the TV show was called Hawkeye and the Last of the Mohicans, and it was made in 1957.

[HONDO74]

It's not Lon Chaney Jr or Jay Silverheels. This actor was born in 1899 and died in Dec of 1955

He was in many western movies from 1936 to his last movie that was released in 1956. The Searchers with John Wayne

, is that shirt you're wearing an official Roy Rogers shirt?

It could be ? I know I had a set of Roy Rogers cap pistols. California in the 50s, lots of western movies on TV in those days. I love western movies. Now I have many set of real six shooters along with lever actions as I participate in Cowboy Action Shooting sports. Ironically the sport of CAS was started in California by a group of guys that called themselves the Wild Bunch after the movie by the same name.

Another picture from the same place. Who is the actress I am setting on the horse with ?

[webenda]

Vera Miles?

[HONDO74]

Vera Miles?

NO, not Vera Miles. The actress is married to the actor who is the owner of the movie ranch where he pictures were taken.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

It's not Lon Chaney Jr or Jay Silverheels. This actor was born in 1899 and died in Dec of 1955

He was in many western movies from 1936 to his last movie that was released in 1956. The Searchers with John Wayne

Victor Daniels aka Chief Thundercloud?

[MurphOnMillerAve]

All I can say is that you were a nice looking, all-American, clean-cut looking boy, and you were fortunate to have such thoughtful and adventuresome parents who took you to such interesting places. I guess that is part of why you are so level-headed, now, as an adult, having had such a wonderful childhood, HONDO.

Victor Daniels aka Chief Thundercloud?

That is correct. He was the first actor to play Tonto in the first Lone Ranger movie in 1938.

Now where was the picture taken and who is the actress.

Did not know that - the Searchers though was tipped me off. Lot of "interesting" casting in that movie

Now where was the picture taken and who is the actress.

I recognize the rock formations from too many movies and TV shows, but I can't place the name of the location; not recognizing her either.
