Allan “Rocky” Lane was a popular cowboy movie star of the ‘40’s and early ‘50’s starring in numerous “B” Westerns including several as “Red Ryder” with his Indian sidekick, Little Beaver played by Robert Blake.
He was one of my first “Western Heroes” and even today when one of his movies is aired, I enjoy watching it as it reminds me of a day when life appeared to be much simpler and adhering to the Code of the West was the right thing to do.
“Rocky” may be better remembered these days to ongoing generations, as the off-camera voice for the talking horse “Mister Ed” (1961) in the classic 60s sitcom of the same name.
