Yes. One hot day Gene rode in on Champ. He was slumped over his saddle horn and Gail noticed from the porch. Running to the corral, she helped Gene down. With his arm around his shoulders, walking on jelly legs, Gail guided him into the house. Sitting him down, she immediately ran to start a hot Jacuzzi. Rejoining him a moment later, she undid his gun belt and took of his boots and socks. Then the proceeded to disrobe the stricken hero completely. Helping him up again, she walked Gene into the Jacuzzi room where she gently lowered him into the bubbling hot water. Catching the forlorn look in the cowboy's eyes, Gail stepped out of her own clothes and joined him. Thus, with Jacuzzi-love, Gail and Gene launched a long, legendary affair.

GENE AUTRY 45 SINGLE, RUDOLPH,THE RED NOSED REINDEER / IF IT DOESN,T SNOW ON

YES, I am a distant cousin of him. to be more exact, around sixth distant cousin

The correct answer is Frosty the Snowman. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was recorded in 1949.

His widow, Jackie Autry.

first song ever sung by gene autry

Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer was written by Johnny Marks and first recorded by Gene Autry in 1949.

Bing Crosby sang the song on a Christmas music compliation called The Time-Life Treasury of Christmas, Volume Two, released in 1987.

Autry became a US Army Air Force C-47 pilot. This was the military version of the Douglas DC-3. He flew as part of the airlift of supplies over "the hump" - the Himalayas - from Burma to China. This was dangerous duty over wild, uncharted territory and the world's tallest mountains. Many pilots who went down on this route are still missing.

i say he was worth 50,000,000 dollars

Gene Autry was born on September 29, 1907.

yes of course he did that's how I born!

born in 1911 would have put him past the draft age maximum which was 27 in 1941.

Unlike John Wayne, Roy Rogers did, indeed, serve his country during WWII. He did join the Army Air Corp.

Congress, after Pearl Harbor passed a new Selective Service Act which removed restrictions and extended the draft to men aged 18-38 years of age (briefly to 45 years). All men between 18-65 had to register. The period of service was extended to 6 months after the end of the War. Over 10 million men were inducted under the terms of this Act until a new Selective Service Act was passed after the War (1948). Although he did not see any action he served his country well, entertaining troops and raising morale. Don't forget he was a rather huge box office star at the time.

No

Tioga in Grayson County in north Texas .

Yes, in 1953 he did a series of shows at the Empress Hall in London. The cinema chain ABC ran a competition for their ABC Minors ( Saturday morning pictures ) to win tickets to see his show. My brother and I were regulars at the Regal Cinema in Purley, Surrey now part of London and my brother was lucky enough to win a ticket.

Yes -- the California Angels (as they were known at the time).

When I was a little girl, My grandfather Frank Lung a horse trader sold Gene a black horse by the name Blackie, I named it Midnight, and as far as I remember he named it Topper. Champion came after. I have a picture of the horse, and a photo of Gene and his wife when he came to get Midnight.

the pioneers

He was married twice but had no children.

In 1932 he married Ina May Spivey (who died in 1980), who was the niece of Jimmy Long. He married his second wife, Jackie Autry, in 1981. He had no children by either marriage.

Autry owned a series of horses, all named Champion, which he rode himself in scores of his films. As a film star, he would not perform dangerous stunts on any horse, but Autry could most definitely ride a horse in a parade.

No, they never met.

There is a story that Elvis may have liked and owned a copy of ABBA's 'Mamma Mia' single, installing it on his private jukebox in 1976, but it is unconfirmed.

ABBA were, of course, great admirers of Elvis's music.

Most of the films in which Autrey appeared are "contemporary" in the sense that they are supposed to be taking place at the time the movie is released. We thus see 1930s & 1940s hair-styles, fashions, music, and transportation. So, in SOME films, automobiles definitely appear. During the film In Old Monterey , for example, a 1930s tank appears.
