Mini Biography
Dale Robertson, the actor who made his name in television Westerns in the 1950s and '60s, was born on July 14, 1923, in Harrah, Oklahoma. After serving in a tank crew and in the combat engineers in North Africa and Europe during World War II, the twice-wounded Robertson started his acting career while still on active duty in the U.S. Army. While stationed at San Luis Obispo, California, had a photograph taken for his mother. A copy of the photo displayed in the photo shop window attracted movie scouts, and the six foot tall, 180-lb. Roberson soon was on his way to Hollywood. Will Rogers Jr., whose father is the most famous son of Oklahoma, told him to avoid formal training and keep his own persona

"Don't ever take a dramatic lesson," Rogers told him. "They will try to put your voice in a dinner jacket, and people like their hominy and grits in everyday clothes." Robertson took his advice and avoided acting classes.

Robertson was typecast in Western movies and TV shows when the genre was still America's favorite. He headlined two TV series, "Tales of Wells Fargo" (1957), in which he played the roving trouble-shooter Jim Hardie, and "Iron Horse" (1966), in which he won a railway in a poker game. He also served as one of the hosts, along with Ronald Reagan, of the syndicated series "Death Valley Days" (1952) during the 1960s. Robertson later appeared in the inaugural season of "Dynasty" (1981).

Robertson is a recipient of the Golden Boot Award in 1985, and was inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers and the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City. He is retired on a ranch near Oklahoma City, not far from his birthplace of Harrah.

Trivia
According to an article on TV westerns in Time Magazine (March 30, 1959), Robertson stood 6 feet tall, weighed 180 lbs, and had chest-waist-hips measurements of 42-34-34
Robertson entered the U.S. Army during World War II. After stateside training he served as a tank commander in the 777th Tank Battalion in the North African campaign. He was standing in the hatch when his tank was hit by enemy fire. His tank crew were killed, but he was blown out of the hatch and survived with shrapnel wounds to his lower legs, the scars of which he still bears. Fully recovered, he went on to serve with the 322nd Combat Engineer Battalion during the European campaign. He was wounded a second time, this one in the right knee during a mortar attack. Again he made a complete recovery.
At the age of 17 he was attending Oklahoma Military College, and boxing in professional prize fights to earn money. Harry Cohn approached him after a fight in Wichita, Kansas and asked him to come out to Hollywood to play the role of Joe Bonaparte in a boxing picture called "Golden Boy." Robertson refused, saying he was in the middle of training 17 polo ponies, and could not leave his family at his age. William Holden eventually was cast in the Golden Boy (1939) role.
Inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 1983.

Tim Holt Dead
Former western movie actor Tim Holt died Thursday in Shawnee Memorial Hospital after a lengthy bout with cancer.
The 54 year old Holt's problem with the disease began last August when he began experiencing a great deal of pain. He was admitted to the hospital in late November.
Holt, whose movie career began in 1935 was noted for his portrayals in westerns, including "Stagecoach" with John Wayne and "My Darling Clementine" with Henry Fonda.
Of the approximately 130 pictures he made, he was probably best known for his role as an itinerant American searching for gold in Mexico in "Treasure of the Sierra Madre."
"I think 'Treasure' was his favorite role," his wife, the former Berdee Stephens, said "because of working with Humphrey Bogart and the two Hustons, Walter and John."
Holt was also known for an out-of-character role as a Nazi officer in "Hitler's Children" in 1943. The highly successful anti-Nazi picture was made shortly before Holt entered the U. S. Army Air corps.
He served in the South Pacific as a lieutenant and flew several missions over Japan as a bombardier on B-29s.
Holt was born in Hollywood and was the son of silent film western star Jack Holt. He came to Oklahoma in 1947 when "I met a girl who worked for the school board... and decided to stay here," he said.
He commuted back and forth to California until 1954 when he gave up motion pictures for good.
Holt was never known for his love of the limelight. "I never did feel there was anything mystic about Hollywood," he once said. "I never really did like it."
In recent years Holt, who made his home in Harrah, concentrated mainly on radio work in the Oklahoma City area, with occasional side trips to California to appear in television shows.
He originally started with KLPR AM in 1961 and went to KEBC AM last year as advertising manager.
Holt was elected to the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and was a member of the Screen Actor's Guild.
Services are tentatively planned for 2 pm Monday at the Harrah United Methodist Church with burial in Memory Lane Cemetery in Harrah directed by Wilson Funeral Home, Harrah.
Other survivors include three sons, Lance, Roseland, NY; and Jack and Jay, both of the home; a daughter, Bryanna, of the home, and a sister, Mrs. Jennifer Holt Cardinal, Santa Barbara, California.

Holt Funeral Quiet, Dignified
Tim Holt, the cowboy movie actor who shunned the limelight and chose the community of Harrah as his home, was buried in the cemetery there Monday. His funeral undoubtedly was one he would have approved of.
For two hours Monday afternoon, friends came to the United Methodist Church of Harrah to pay their respects. There was no fanfare, no sermon. There was no service.
In a room at the back of the sanctuary, Holt's wife, the former Berdee Stephens, surrounded by members of the family, greeted visitors.
Some of them then went to sit for a few minutes in the sanctuary, where Holt's body lay in a closed, flag draped coffin. The sanctuary was filled with sprays of flowers sent by friends and admirers...
It was Mrs. Holt's decision not to have a formal service.... He died Thursday, 10 days after reaching the age of 54...
When the casket was finally rolled out the door, Holt's wife, his three sons, Lance, Jack and Jay, his daughter, Bryanna, his sister, Mrs. Jennifer Cardinal, and other members of the family followed it slowly.
Only the family went to the cemetery.
Charles John "Jack" Holt (1888-1951) was the father of three film performers: Tim Holt, western star; Jennifer Holt, leading lady. His mother's maiden name was Marshall, he was born in New York.
Chester Gould patterned his famed detective, jut-jawed Dick Tracy in 1931, after his favorite film star, Jack Holt.
Dropping out of Virginia Military Institute as a teenager, Jack Holt held down a variety of tough, he-man jobs before settling into film acting in 1913. As a virile action hero he flourished in the 1920s in the late-silent productions. Holt was one of highest paid stars of the silent era. After serving as a major in World War II, he returned to films as a supporting actor. Jack and Margaret remained married through Holt's death, although the couple had not lived together for many years.
