Russell "Lucky" Hayden (1912 - 1981) was an American film and television actor. He worked behind the scenes as an assistant cameraman before he became an actor in the mid-1930s. At the beginning of his acting career he was voted one of the Top Ten cowboy stars, and he co-starred in several Westerns with Charles Starrett.
In the 1952-1953 season, Hayden teamed with Jackie Coogan (a former child actor) in the 39-episode syndicated series Cowboy G-Men. He also produced and directed two syndicated western series, "26 Men" (starring Tristram Coffin), and "Judge Roy Bean" (with Edgar Buchanan and Jack Buetel).
Hayden and fellow western actor Dick Curtis helped to develop Pioneertown (a western movie set near Palm Springs) which has been used in many western films and television episodes.
