Trivia
According to an in-depth article on Lanny in the Winter 2008-2009 issue of "Films of the Golden Age" by Ken Dennis, Lanny got blood poisoning after a blister on his foot from roller skating became infected. This happened during the shooting of his first-released picture, the Roy Rogers/Dale Evans western film Home in Oklahoma (1946).

Quotes
I really liked making movies. I was impressed by them, but I never liked watching myself on the screen . . . Then several years ago, I guess I gained some objectivity and began to like seeing my movies and that little guy up there that I once was.
