SO LONG, PEGGY STEWART...


Your queue of movies is beyond remarkable. The westerns alone (including those of the adventurous Red Ryder, aka Wild Bill Elliott) will make one's head spin.


There's "California Gold Rush"; "Tucsan Raiders"; "Stagecoach to Denver"; "Marshal of Laredo"; "Sheriff of Las Vegas"; "Sheriff of Redwood Valley"; "Cheyenne Wildcat"; "Conquest of Cheyenne"; "Vigilantes of Boomtown"; "The Fighting Redhead"; "Firebrands of Arizona"; "Code of the Prairie"; "Silver City Kid"; "Bandits of the Badlands"; "Rough Riders of Cheyenne"; "Dead Man's Gold"; "Frontier Revenge"; "The Back Lash"; "The Phantom Rider"; "Son of Zorro"; "Trail to San Antoine"; "Alias, Billy the Kid"; "Gun Street"; "Silver City Kid";  "Rustlers of Devil's Canyon": "Wells Fargo"; "Utah"; "Oregon Trail"; Stagecoach to Monterey"; "Cody of the Pony Express"; "Red River Renegades"; "Days of Buffalo Bill"; "Tex Granger"; "The Way West"...to name but a few. 


You also had a prolific, television career, covering "Gunsmoke"; "The Cisco Kid"; "The Gene Autry Show"; "The Roy Rogers Show"; "Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok"; "Have Gun--Will Travel"; "The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp"; "Hondo"; "Pony Express"; "The Rebel (Johnny Yuma)"; "Daniel Boone"; "Twilight Zone"; "The Fugitive"; "Peter Gunn"; "The Millionaire"; "The Mod Squad"; "Lassie"; "Ironside"; "Baretta"; "Quincy"; "Seinfeld"; "Taxi"...plus many more.


In the realm of horror, action and related adventure, you graced "The Vampire's Ghost"; "Tiger Woman"; "Girls in Chains"; "The Stranger"; "Beyond Evil"; "Fall of the House of Usher '79"; "Terror in the Wax Museum"; "Invisible Informer"; "The Animals"; "The Clown and the Kid"; "Bobbie Joe and the Outlaw"; "When the Clock Strikes"; "Pickup on 101"; "Black Oak Conspiracy"...and The Adventures of Nellie Bly". 


One could never downplay your contributions to cinema and its plentiful genres. You did it all, and what you did will be remembered with utmost awe, veneration and above all, enduring love.
