Riding a horse gave him no prob

was Bowen Charleston Tufts III,
his mother made him attend riding
academy every day - along with
dancing lessons. He learned to
fight at the same time - it was
a tricky thing to pass certain
tough neighborhoods wearing a
white stock and riding breeches.
Tufts owes his movie career to
an early disregard for money. His

Sonny was not cut out for high

rebellion by choosing Yale, against
the family tradition of Harvard.

himself by managing five bands and
singing in the glee club. He had a
tenor voice - loud and good, and
started singing at night clubs. He

process in the world - he went to
Hollywood and asked for a screen
test.
Sonny claims that his movie tri-

recently when a Texas rancher
offered him a job as cowhand.
