Manco, you have the wrong Alan Hale, you want Jr.

Howdy Manco!!

Claire Trevor was a 1930's,40's and 50's film star. She starred with Humphrey Bogart in the late 30's, and was nominated for an Academy Award. She also appeared with John Wayne in several films. Among them were, Stagecoach and The High And The Mighty.

Alan Hale .jr was a 2nd generation actor, who appeared in many western films and t.v. series during the 50's and 60's. The big stocky blonde actor was the son of Alan Hale .sr. Alan Hale .jr will best be remembered for his role as the Skipper on the 60's hit t.v. hit series, Gilligan's Island with Tina Louise, Jim Backus, Russell Johnson, Dawn Wells, Bob Denver and Natalie Schaffer.

Sean McClory was an excellent supporting/character actor of the 50's, 60' and 70's in both movies and t.v. He was almost always cast as an Irishman, because of his beautiful brogue. He appeared on every western t.v. series from the golden years of t.v. westerns. Con man, swindler, cardshark, thief, he had them all down pat and because of his knack for " blarney", you couldn't help but like him.

Sue Anne Langdon was another excellent supporting actress from the 60's. I remember her best fron Welcome To Hard Times and Hang'um High as the fingernail snapping prostitute with Clint Eastwood.

Susan Clark is a wonderful actress, who you will remember from her portrayal of Babe, in the film of the same name. She worked in several westerns, such as, Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here, Coogan's Bluff and Valdez Is Coming. She is married to former Detroit Lions defensive lineman, Alex Karras, who appeared as Mungo in Blazeing Saddles.

Thanks Nightlinger for the catching my mistake. I have corrected it. Best, Manco

Ed, Sue Ann Langdon wasn't in Hang 'em High. She was in Cheyenne Social Club, with Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda. The girl with Clint in Hang 'em High was Arlene Golonka.

Howdy Tinhorn!!

You're right pard!! Guess I musta hadda nuther brain cramp!! Langdon is a much more of an extrovert that Golonka. I believe Langdon was also in The Rounders with Fonda and Ford. She always plays the light comedy roles better.
