Reel Cowboys of the Santa Susanas -- Eddie Dean

'Reel Cowboys of the Santa Susanas' is a continuing series about "six-gun heroes that performed on the old Iverson Movie Location Ranch in Chatsworth, California.  For more information about the Iverson Movie Ranch see: http://a-drifting-cowboy.blogspot.com/2011/10/iverson-movie-location-ranch-chatsworth.html


Eddie Dean (1907-1999) (photo above on White Cloud) was an America actor and singing cowboy.  Both Roy Rogers and Gene Autry praised Dean's singing ability and stated he was one of the best cowboy singers of all time.

Dean got his start singing on the radio, but then came to Hollywood and played bit parts in several movies during the 1930s.  He finally got a break in 1944 and co-starred with an aging Ken Maynard in Harmony Trail.  From then on he became one of the more popular of the cowboy stars.

During the 1940s he was under contract with PRC that shot most of their outdoor scenes on the Iverson Ranch.
