Description
A Little Bit of History On Gene Autry
Mr. Autry succeeded at just about anything he undertook: radio, records, songwriting, movies, TV, real estate and business. He first sang on radio in 1928 and then went on to make 95 films and star in a TV show from 1950 to 1956. He also cut 635 records, including "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and his signature "Back in the Saddle Again," which was back on the charts in 1993 as part of the sound-track to the hit movie "Sleepless in Seattle." Mr.Autry hung up his performing spurs in 1956 but continued to own four radio stations, the Gene Autry Hotel in Palm Springs, and several other properties.In 1982, he sold Los Angeles TV station KTLA for $245 million.He ranked for many years on the Forbes magazine list of the 400 richest Americans, before he fell in 1995 to the magazine's "near miss" category with an estimated net worth of $320 million. The history came from "Western Webpage".
The sketch done with 5H and HP Pencils was
referenced from many pictures on the web and
also from a picture tube in PSP8. The Tube
is part of a collection on JCW Designs who has probably the largest number of Picture Tubes I have encountered on the web. I liked the design on Mr. Autry's shirt from JCW Designs. The Drop Shadow, Soft Focus, Matting and Frame were also from PSP8.
Thanks for stopping by...Cheryl

I had an uncle Gene so the name seemed reserved and I always followed the periphery of Hopalong Cassidy, the Cisco Kid, Zorro and almost any other cowboy in black. Your sketch shows what Gene looked like. Quite a memory.

No doubt about it... this one is my favorite out of this series. Brilliant Cheryl, just brilliant.

Very stylish portrait. "Phantom Empire" is one of my all time favorite movies. Gene starred with Frankie Darrow and Betsy King Ross. They really knew how to make movies back then!
