Diminutive beauty Christine Larsen (also credited as 'Larson' in some of her early films) had a minor Hollywood career, spanning a mere seven years, from 1948 to 1955. On the rare occasions she was not cast as the perfunctory love interest in B-westerns, opposite the likes of Johnny Mack Brown, she co-starred in long-forgotten potboilers (Last Train from Bombay (1952)) and 'Jungle Jim' adventures (Valley of Head Hunters (1953)). The multi-talented redhead (whose real name was Marjorie Goss) studied acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York and gained her entry to Hollywood in the mid 1940's via a spell with the Western Costume Company, as a designer of men's garments for 20th Century Fox musicals and period dramas. She also dabbled in theatrical set design and was a champion equestrian and rodeo queen, whose greatest ambition in life was to own a Lipizzaner stallion.
Ironically, it was to be Christine's private life which made the headlines, rather than her all-too-brief tenure as a second feature lead in Hollywood. A 1992 unauthorized biography of Nancy Reagan by sensationalist author Kitty Kelley alleged an affair between her and future president Ronald Reagan -- though she had spurned his proposal of marriage in 1951 -- which endured at least a year into his marriage to Nancy. In 1952, Christine hit the news again, when she made a claim to police, accusing her 57-year old neighbor of spying on her by means of a spotlight and a periscope after she had refused his advances. The authorities, apparently, did not seriously pursue the matter, insisting that periscopes were not covered by city ordinances.
There were a few more TV appearances before Christine's career had run its course and it became quiet about her for the remaining years of her life. She died on February 13, 1973 at the premature age of 47 due to complications from cancer in Los Angeles. A memorial service was held four days later at Westwood Memorial Park Chapel.- Bill Baldwin was born on 26 November 1913 in Pueblo, Colorado, USA.

American second feature director George Sherman arrived in California aboard the SS Mongolia (bound from New York City, where he was born), on which he served as a bellboy. He began his career in the movie business in the mail room at Warner Brothers before working his way up to assistant director. By 1937, he had graduated to directing in his own right under contract to Republic Pictures. Sherman specialized almost exclusively in "B" westerns there (including the "Three Mesquiteers" series, which featured a young John Wayne). He also made occasional forays into action and horror themes, often managing to achieve a sense of style over substance. 'Variety', commenting on his handling of the "Mesquiteers" series, singled out his ability to imparting a "poetry in motion" to his "unified timing of cowboys mounting, riding, wheeling, galloping and dismounting of steeds" (July 2 1939). From 1940, Sherman also served as associate producer on many of his films.
The diminutive (5'0") Sherman turned out reliable low-budget fare for Columbia between 1945-48, then moved on to do the same at Universal for another eight years. After that, he turned to freelancing and working in television. The only "A"-grade products to his credit were two westerns, both starring John Wayne: The Comancheros (1961) (as producer) and Big Jake (1971) (as director, although Wayne took over when Sherman fell ill).- Thom Carney was born on 16 May 1923 in Charleston, West Virginia, USA.

Richard LaMarr is another forgotten name of the past who had a long and varied career as a silent screen actor, stand-in, stunt double, and character actor.
Little is known about Richard LaMarr's early career because many of the films of that era are lost and/or undocumented, but his acting credits go as far back as 1911; he's known to have worked in Pearl White's The Perils of Pauline (1914), and apparently continued to work steadily until the end of the silent era.
Like many silent players, LaMarr didn't have a voice that merited leading man or even character actor status so he found himself in the stereotypical roles as convicts, and gangsters for which his appearance was best suited. However, because of his rough looks and short physical stature, he found steady work for 25 years as the stand-in and stunt double for Edward G. Robinson.
However, like most actors in similar situations, he had to find other work when Robinson wasn't working, and can even be found in a cameo in The Perils of Pauline (1947), which also included other actors of the silent era in uncredited appearances.
By the 1950s, Robinson's career was winding down, and since LaMarr's noticeable Italian accent made it difficult for him to obtain regular work in speaking roles, he began to appear more and more in background roles.
Because of his rugged appearance, LaMarr started doing Westerns, appearing in television shows like Bonanza (1959), Gunsmoke (1955), and Tales of Wells Fargo (1957), and in movies such as Rio Bravo (1959) and The Cheyenne Social Club (1970). A couple of uncredited appearances in Search (1972) brought his career, which by that time had spanned more than 60 years, to a quiet close. He died in 1975.- John Devlin was born on 26 January 1937 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. He was an actor, known for All the President's Men (1976), The Great Gatsby (1974) and Young Dan'l Boone (1977).

Loren Brown was one of the top gymnast in the state of California. This earned him a spot on the USC gymnastic team in the mid-1930s. Upon graduation, he became a gymnastic coach at Inglewood High School until he got drafted into the army during World War 2.
Like most Los Angeles residents of the era, Brown had appeared in a few movies but once he returned from war, he decided to pursue a career in motion pictures. Because of his gymnastic background, Brown became a stuntman and would constantly double for actors if it required them do things like high water dives or even stunts that just required a certain amount of danger or some athletic ability.
By the late 1950s, Brown found himself working as a stuntman doubling some cowboy actors and appearing in western bar scenes collecting paychecks as townsman, barflies, and henchman. Like most western stuntmen, Brown preferred to stay in the background and was able to earn a living through anonymity.
As westerns ended, Brown's career really started to fade but he tried to keep busy by appearing in whatever westerns were still being made and appearing in skid row scenes throughout the 1980s until he passed away.- Director
