Max's son Bob Terhune also worked in Hollywood as an actor, but found his niche as a stuntman and double. Above, Bob is mixing it up with Al "Fuzzy" St. John in one of the Lash LaRue range escapades of the late 1940s. Tracy Terhune adds: "the film was OUTLAW COUNTRY and was 1949. By the way, it was my fathers 1st film, and he was billed as Max Terhune Jr. Throughout his stunt career, he went by Bob Terhune." |
