Beatrice Gray(1911-2009)

Petite and pretty brunet actress who appeared briefly as a leading lady of minor 1940s westerns alongside Hoot Gibson, Bob Steele and Johnny Mack Brown before being relegated to unbilled parts in 1950s films. She continued on TV and in countless commercials in later years.

Of all the cowboys I worked with, Bob Steele was a favorite. Most other actors wanted the cameras on them at all times. Bob wasn't like that. He was always willing to let me get in front of the camera for a close-up. He would tell me, 'Nobody wants to see my ugly mug.'
