did he not star in Only Fools and Horses :mosher:

Re: Old Western Movie Stars
 

Trigger (Roy's horse that is!) died in 1965 at age 33, which is old for a horse. His impressive equine career had earned him the title of "the smartest horse in the movies." After his death, Rogers had Trigger stuffed and mounted. Trigger presently rests among the exhibits at the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum.

Re: Old Western Movie Stars
 

33 old for a horse, it was old for a gunfighter in those days:D

Re: Old Western Movie Stars
 

Barbara Stanwyck’s association with the Western genre is significant and, indeed, interesting. Although perhaps best remembered as a femme fatale or screwball comedienne, Stanwyck’s involvement in the Western equaled that of many of the genre’s well-known male stars.

Re: Old Western Movie Stars
 

Thanks Retlaw, just spotted your post - brilliant. Saturday mornings at the Odeon - i can remember 8 cinemas in Accrington, Church & Oswaldtwistle but got a feeling that there were more than that - 5 + 1 + 2

Re: Old Western Movie Stars
 

What a fantastic trip down memory lane for us old fogies. I salute you, Retlaw.

Re: Old Western Movie Stars
 

He also had an alsatian dog, Bullet, which featured mainly in his weekly TV series.

Re: Old Western Movie Stars
 

Not sure where the Church/Ossy boundary is but I always thought the Empire, Palladium & Palace were in Ossy.

Re: Old Western Movie Stars
 

There were 6 cinema's in Acc
Empire & Princess in Edgar St,
Palace on the corner of Abbey St and Peel St,
Bug Hut diagonally across the road from the Palace facing the end of Peel St,
the Odeon on Broadway,
and the Ritz on the corner of Church St and Cannon St.

Re: Old Western Movie Stars
 

As usual Retlaw, you are correct - the Bug hut being the King's Hall - Thank you.
I only remember two in Ossy, do not remember the Palce - where was it?

Re: Old Western Movie Stars
 

Palace was on Rhyddings St. Used to go there Sat mornings for a tanner - Lone Ranger / Batman & Robin / etc.
