HOPALONG CASSIDY DAY
http://www.hopalong.com/ Today is the anniversary of the birth of
William Boyd, born in Cambridge, Ohio in 1895.
Boyd is better known to movie-goers and TV audiences throughout the
world as Hopalong Cassidy. He first played the role of the cowboy hero
in the 1935 movie, Hop-a-long Cassidy.
creator of the original Hopalong, described him as a rather unsavory
character rather than the straight-thinking, straight-shooting cowboy
that William Boyd portrayed.
Boyd was Hopalong Cassidy in 66 films through 1948 (he bought the
rights to the character in 1945), and then he starred as Hopalong in
the successful TV series in the 1950s. For over twenty years, children
and adults, alike, thrilled to the adventures of Hopalong Cassidy, his
later, by Andy Clyde.
