(Courtesy of Les Adams) Above are Bill Cody, Bill Cody Jr. and Catherine Cotter looking over the prone William 'Bill' McCall in a scene from OUTLAWS OF THE RANGE (Spectrum, 1936) which marked the end of Bill Cody's career as a western leading man. McCall played a kindly ol' rancher and Catherine Cotter played his daughter. Cotter made about a half-dozen mid 1930s oaters with Cody, Bob Steele and Fred Scott, and then disappeared. (Courtesy of Les Adams) Above - Bill Cody and son Bill Jr. taking a break with Catherine Cotter during the filming of OUTLAWS OF THE RANGE (Spectrum, 1936). Cody, Jr. enlisted in the Navy during World War II and never went back to the film business upon returning home from military duty. |
