MINI BIO:
Light-haired American singing cowboy who became for many years the world's number one money-making western star. His medium-budget westerns at Republic were longer (around 75 minutes) than the average and actually burst into color for a while in the late forties. Also a popular recording star. His horse Trigger (1932-1965) was almost as famous. Married (second; first wife died) to Dale Evans, his oft-time leading lady, from 1947. Always signed autographs "Happy Trails." Died from congestive heart failure. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:
