smitty1931 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Of the many Western Stars over the years, who among them actually worked as a cowboy before going into films? Certainly not John Wayne, Randolph Scott , Joel McCrea, Gene Autry or Roy Rogers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzcutter Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Ben Johnson is the first one that comes to mind. was a rodeo rider before being discovered. Joel McCrea and Randolph Scott may not have started out as working cowboys but both had working ranches in the San Fernando Valley where they didn't just sit on the porch and tell others what to do.
