Orson Welles boy wonder

OMgosh, he does look like just a boy here (in spite of the cigar)! Any idea how old he was in this photo, Joe?

And wonderful pix of Newman & Hopper--thank you!

Great stuff, Susan. We need more Western fans. It's a genre in desperate need of revitalizing. Especially with the box office dud THE LONE RANGER remake proved to be. Agreed on all counts!! And after 2 TLR movie flops we can only hope that one day someone will get it right--sticking to the legend m...

Like your moniker and avatar, too!

Thanks--love my westerns and am a die-hard fan of Clayton Moore

Larry, as usual your input regarding the upper crust was interesting. Perhaps I shouldn't jump the gun so fast, since she turned out to be a nice woman. Sorry bout that. I jumped the gun too, Joe, in thinking that the old adage "Love is blind" must be true. Thanks to Larry and Stone for r...

Gee, Joe--you put so much effort into this for all of us and it is SO appreciated! I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

I enjoy some solitude but that photo of Ava just shouts "lonely" to me. Is it just me?

1949. I think of the 1950's as the early days of TV. But 1949. Wow! Wow is right, RR. And for kicks, I just did an internet search of TV shows from the 1940s and one of the sites that came up was crazyabouttv.com. When I clicked on the list of the 1940s shows, it looks to me as if TLR is the only s...

We're lucky now to get 6 episodes in a season. I was shocked the last time I was on Netflix at how the older shows (and they're not THAT old) cranked out 26 episodes in a season! Can you imagine 52? They must have been working their butts off every day, all day, all year! 52 does seem unbelievable ...

You're right, RR; it was a great show for little kids (and even us big ones nowadays)! It amazes me that the first season was made up of 52 episodes--we'll never see anything like that again, will we?

I'm a few days behind in my reading so forgive the late post. Can't help but notice the number of ladies pictured in the last few days who had some real struggles: Gail Russell; Judy Garland; Mary Astor; Frances Farmer. I'm sure I missed some but that's still quite a list. Thanks for keeping them &q...

I'm glad that Jack Wrather was decent enough to return the right to wear the mask to Clayton Moore before Mr. Wrather passed away. What a lot of senseless legal wrangling and fan uproar. But just as in (the REAL) Lone Ranger shows and 2 original movies, justice prevailed

Erik, I'm new to SSO (3 weeks now) and am just discovering some of the sites other than "Candids" (just found The Lone Ranger site recently and saw you over there; glad your his fan too). Once I get up-to-date on "Candids", there will be more time for me to work through your thre...

What great pix of Judy and Rita, Joe. Thanks for posting them. Both ladies look so natural--so "everyday people". Love it!

I don't want to go "off thread" or breach protocol, so as a newbie I'll ask: Since the Lone Ranger & Clayton Moore are so closely intertwined (Mr. Moore is, after all, the only person on the Hollywood Walk of Fame whose star contains both his name and the name of his character), can we...

I couldn't agree with all of you more--wouldn't see the new Ranger if you paid me. Disney seems to have lost the depth of the Ranger legend--from a radio show in the early 30's that stretches all the way to today. His mask is in the Smithsonian--thats how much the Ranger is a part of America. I'll s...
