Roy Rogers Biography, Age, Weight, Height, Friend, Like, Affairs, Favourite, Birthdate & Other

Leonard Franklin Slye, famously known as Roy Rogers, was an American cowboy actor and singer who glorified the cowboy era in Hollywood with his charming singing and action-packed acting. To this date, he remains the number one artist in the world who is associated with heavy merchandising and marketing, all owing to his success from his trademark show The Roy Rogers Show on the television. It ran for nine years and starred his wife Evans and Pat Brady along with his horse and dog, making it an iconic success amongst young children and adults alike.

Rogers has worked in many cowboy movies and throughout his career remained at par with his competitor cowboy actor Gene Autry it would suffice to say that there were times when he surpassed him and was known as the sole King of the Cowboys on the silver screen. Rogers humble background and the financial adversities that he faced when he was young did not stop him from becoming a matinee sensation and an American legend; rather he realized his love for music right in the middle of the Great Depression.

For his contribution to television, cinema and radio, Rogers was twice inducted into the Western Performers Hall of Fame at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, Oklahoma.
