Richard Lane Facts
In the early 1940s, while working at Paramount Pictures, Dick Lane watched as television genius Klaus Landsberg worked on the studio's experimental TV station, W6XYZ. On January 22, 1947, KTLA became the first commercial TV station west of the Mississippi and Dick was one its first on-camera personalities. On the Spade Cooley Show, he wore cowboy chaps and became known as "Leather Britches", accentuating each Chevrolet commercial by slapping the fender.

Dick also starred on KTLA's weekly variety show, Dixieland Showboat, as the interlocutor/master of ceremonies.

As a wrestling announcer during the 50s and 60s, Lane made up names for numerous wrestling moves on the spur of the moment, most of which are still in common use today.
