 (From Old Corral image collection) Singin' cowboy Eddie Dean used 4 steeds during his brief starring career at PRC/Eagle Lion. His first horse was War Paint. Above, Dean on War Paint alongside his first sidekick, Emmett 'Pappy' Lynn in a scene from THE CARAVAN TRAIL (PRC, 1946).  (From Old Corral image collection) Above, Eddie Dean is riding Flash. His sidekick is Roscoe Ates and the pretty gal is Shirley Patterson (Shawn Smith).  (From Old Corral image collection) Eddie Dean atop White Cloud, which was a palomino, not a white horse. See pressbook clipping below.  (Courtesy of Minard Coons) Above, Eddie Dean and his fourth horse, Copper.  (Courtesy of Les Adams) Above is the pressbook cover for Dean's DRIFTIN' RIVER ... notice the mention that Eddie has a new horse named Flash ... he had a lot of hosses!   (Courtesy of Minard Coons) Above, Lash LaRue on Black Diamond, circa 1953. Lash also had a similar looking hoss named Rush ... or were Rush and Black Diamond the same animal?  (From Old Corral image collection) Above, from L-to-R are Emmett Lynn, Lash LaRue, Charlie King and Eddie Dean in a lobby card from CARAVAN TRAIL (PRC, 1946), one of the earlier Cinecolor oaters starring Eddie Dean (who is riding War Paint). LaRue did not yet have his own series and rode this palomino in CARAVAN TRAIL --- could this palomino be Dean's later 'White Cloud'? |
