It can be hard to maintain the metaphor of Hollywood Royalty in the fickle world show business reality, but by any measure, it would be hard to deny that Douglas Fairbanks Jr was a Prince of Hollywood.

Morning Dr Flinn.     On the first car discussion mine was a 67 Camaro.     In 1966 it was being introduced.  My dad took me to Memphis to buy one.   None on the lot just brochures.  I ordered the color interior look engine size and style of tires.   Dad paid for the car and we left.  Anxious to get it I was counting down the days.   The phone call came that my new car was ready for pickup.   I was a happy 16 year old.      I was told it was the first Camaro bought in Memphis.  I don't know

I heard a caller steer you to a movie that showed Clayton Moore in a role without his signature Lone Ranger mask as he played Buffalo Bill. Here is a list of the many, many films of various genres and some serials as well that he appeared in. He often played a bad guy gang member early in his career in serials. Some are still showing on TV on 23.2/34. - Mouse
