Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heroes, Heavies and Sagebrush is the result of much time spent in tracing the lives of some of these players, not only from the standpoint of historical curiosity, but in order to provide an affectionate, nostalgic glimpse of a significant aspect of the western movie fare. The lives of the various players represent a study in contrasts. Some embody the rags-to-riches-to-lost-fame theme so often observed in the lives of Hollywood residents. Some were semi-literate, while others earned academic degrees. Some retained their wealth and popularity, while still others retained neither. A representative group of actors who played heroes, heavies, sidekicks, Indians and assorted character types are included in the investigation.
