Description: Singing Cowboy star. 8x10 b/w signed GREAT young western portrait.

His horse was named Koko "The Miracle Horse of the Movies."

Rex Allen started out as a singer in vaudeville, and sang on numerous radio shows before hooking up with a traveling rodeo show. He signed with Republic Pictures and became a popular singing cowboy, and was often paired with sidekick Slim Pickens. He starred in his own western TV series, "Frontier Doctor" (1958) and in the 1960s was the narrator on many nature documentaries for Walt Disney and in fact narrated more than 80 Walt Disney films.

SAD DEATH: Had a heart attack and fell down behind his caretaker's car, which was parked in the driveway of his home, and which ran over him later. Apparently the car actually killed him.

Inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 1983.
