Here's a pic of Bart and Bret. But, who's that tenderfoot in the middle with the white bucks? Another long-lost Maverick cousin?
Zoom out a little, and we can see, of course, that it's really Pat Boone, playing host to ABC's "top guns" (there's that phrase again!) Can you name the other Warner Bros. western stars shown here?

Thanks, La B.! :-D

Never knew this show existed! I'd love to see this. Does anybody know anything about it?
ReplyDeleteI recognize Peter Brown, who was Deputy Johnny McKay on "Lawman", and Ty Hardin, who played Bronco Lane in the series "Bronco". And unless I'm mistaken, the man on the far left is Clint Walker from "Cheyenne" and the man on the far right is Preston Foster(?) from "Colt 45". Wow, you have to remember that from 1956 to 1962, Warner Brothers and ABC had a slew of T.V Westerns on the air -- "Maverick", "Cheyenne", "Bronco", "Sugarfoot", "Colt 45", and "Lawman". It was really a golden time for them.
ReplyDeletePat Boone had a variety show on ABC? That's something I didn't know! Thanks for sharing this!
Ha, and I am mistaken about those other two actors! The man on the far left is Will Hutchins from "Sugarfoot" and the mustached man on the right is John Russell, Peter Brown's castmate from "Lawman". Whew, glad to clear that up! :D
ReplyDeleteWell, just about cleared up! The actor with the mustache is Wayde Preston, who played Chris Colt in the series "Colt 45". Please forgive my corrections. It's been 50+ years since I've seen any of these Westerns and I had to go to the Wikepedia to re-acquaint myself with them. Hee-hee, now I can stop being a pest! :)
ReplyDeletePat Boone wasn't a Maverick cousin but both he and his actual cousins Richard Boone and Randy Boone were supposedly descended from Daniel Boone.
