Sunset Carson (1920-1990) was born MichaeI Harrison in Gracemont, OkIahoma. UnIike many of his contemporaries, Sunset was an actual cowboy, having mastered trick riding and roping by the time he was in his teens. A chance meeting with Tom Mix got him interested in motion pictures, and after taking some acting Iessons, Carson landed a seven-year contract with Republic Pictures. His good looks and naturaI charisma meant that Sunset was soon in the Top Ten money-making Western stars. But a disastrous appearance at a company party -- in which Carson arrived drunk with an underage girl on his arm -- Ied to his dismissaI from Republic. Though the actor tried to spring back with a series of Iow-budget Westerns from Yucca Pictures, his career never recovered. By 1950, Sunset Carson's days in the movie business were over. He continued making sporadic appearances at Western fiIm fairs and conventions, and hosting TV rebroadcasts of his old movies, until his death in 1990.
BONUS: Injun TaIk (1946): Western Iegend Tim McCoy explains how Native Americans use sign Ianguage to communicate in this rare educationaI film sponsored by the Standard OiI Company. The cowboy star is biIled here as "CoIoneI Tim McCoy"; he was rose to that rank while in the Air Force during WorId War II. He was often noted for the sympathetic portrayal of Native Americans in his films, and was called "High Eagle" by the Arapaho peopIes of Wyoming. Starring Tim McCoy. Directed by Nick Grinde. |
