MINI BIO:
Jolly, roly-poly American actor with unruly light brown hair and unique, croakingly raucous, high-pitched voice - the comic sidekick of many a western. He got into films through being a college football star, liked it, overcame objections to the effectiveness of his voice in sound films, and stayed to cheer up more than 150 of them. Death caused by cardiac arrest.

Padre: [reading the inscription] "As the sun rises, the shadow of my arms and the pillar of my strength shall mark that which God made and whence came the bells of San Angelo."
Lee Madison: That's beautiful!
Cookie Bullfincher: But what does it mean?
Roy Rogers: "... The shadow of my arms and the pillar of my strength..." Arms, pillar - that must mean a cross! Cookie, do you know where there's a cross around here?
Cookie Bullfincher: Sure! On top of the church.
Roy Rogers: No, I mean up in the hills near the border where the mine could be.
Padre: None now, but there was a shrine many years ago to which the people came to pray to Santa Guadalupe at Easter.
Cookie Bullfincher: Sure, Padre, I remember. On your side of the border near some rimrock!
Cookie Bullfincher: Watch yourself; they won't give us any information unless they think we're bums.
Roy Rogers: That's why I brought you along.
Cookie Bullfincher: Aw, Roy!
