Hollywood West: Lives of Film Legends Who Shaped It (Notable Westerners Series, 3)
The Hollywood West brings into focus the most influential characters and themes of the Hollywood Western-from the singing Westerns of Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, and Dale Evans in the 1930s, to the directorial achievements of John Ford and John Wayne's and Gary Cooper's larger-than-life Western heros in the 1940s; from Barbara Stanwyck and Katy Jurado, who "feminized' the Western, to Jay Silverheels, Iron Eyes Cody, and Chief Dan George, who were the first Native American actors in leading roles.
