 (From Old Corral collection) Above is Robert B. 'Buzzy' 'Buzz' Henry (1931 - 1971). Buzzy Henry was a toddler when he started his Hollywood screen career - he was 3+ years old when he appeared in Ken Maynard's WESTERN FRONTIER (Columbia, 1935). Around 9-10 years of age, he starred in a couple of forgetable films for independent producer Arthur Ziehm, BUZZY RIDES THE RANGE (1940) and BUZZY AND THE PHANTOM PINTO (1941). As a teen, he appeared in B westerns with Autry, Rogers, Charles Starrett, Bill Elliott, Rod Cameron, Eddie Dean, a few others. And he had roles in many TV shows. In his adult years, he became a stuntman and second unit director and worked on A grade features such as THE WILD BUNCH (1969) and THE COWBOYS (1972). He was killed in a car/motorcyle crash in 1971, apparently while drag racing. The California Death Index and Social Security Death Index (SSDI) have records for Robert B. Henry, born 9/4/1931 in Colorado, and he passed away on 9/30/1971.
