If you've been following my blog then you've probably noticed my "Meanwhile, back at the ranch" posts--a continuing series about "rock stars" (landscape features) on the old Iverson Movie Location Ranch in Chatsworth, California. I thought you might also enjoy learning about filmographies of the many six-gun heroes who have performed on locations in the Santa Susana Mountains near Chatsworth, California.
"Reel Cowboys of the Santa Susanas -- Wild Bill Elliott" is the first of a series about my favorite Hollywood cowboys. I have a special interest in Gordon Nance (1904 - 1965) aka Wild Bill Elliott because I still have wonderful memories of Sunday, October 10, 1954, when my red dun quarter horse Sandy and I participated in the first annual West Valley Junior Equestrians Horse Show at Wild Bill Elliott's ranch in Calabasas (photo below).
Bill was a really warm and friendly fellow who genuinely liked kids, so it was no surprise when he offered to make his ranch available to West Valley Junior Equestrians.
