Utah and Peggy Stewart
Typically of Republic Studios, Utah was made in Lone Pine, California! Dad’s (Roy Rogers) films seldom had the budget to travel out of California and Lone Pine is used for everything from itself (“High Sierra”) to the Khyber Pass (“King of the Khyber Rifles”) to India in “Charge of the Light Brigade” to another world …

ROY ROGERS AND JOAQUIN
Dad owned one of the first five pairs of Weimaraners imported from Germany. Joaquin was the male and Lana was the female. For a number of years Dad bred Weimaraner pups but we never had any that we loved as much as Lana and Joaquin. When they arrived, they only knew German commands but Dad …

ROY ROGERS AND CARY GRANT IN PARTNERSHIP???
Actually it was Cary Grant, Dad, Red Skelton and Richard Widmark who were talking about forming a partnership to invest in a hotel in Acapulco, Mexico in the mid-1940s! I don’t remember anything about this (sure wish it had happened as Grant and Widmark were extraordinary businessmen!) but a friend of mine, who is a …

ROY ROGERS’ ORIENTAL EYES
When Dad (Roy Rogers) started starring in movies, the studio tried several things to get him to open his eyes wider. You can see in the above photo (just received from my friend, Larry Zwisohn) why the studios thought they needed to do that. Flash cameras just didn’t have a fast enough shutter speed to …

MACKINTOSH & TJ
I sure hope that you are some of the few people who saw what I think was one of Dad’s very best films! It wasn’t out at the movie theaters very long (just a few weeks) as there was a law suit filed. Not about the film itself but between the producers! Dad, of course, …

LITTLE TRIGGER DOES TRICKS
Here are some photos that I was unable to include in my latest book, “Cowboy Princess Rides Again.” They are photos from an old movie magazine and the quality just isn’t good enough from them to be reproduced in print today. But, I am happy to include them here. The first photo is of Little …
