The Lone Ranger
The Lone Ranger was one of the most beloved characters for generations. Played by Clayton Moore, along with his sidekick Tonto, played by Jay Silverheels, the two became the go-to Cowboy and Indian duo that inspired racial harmony. Of course, whenever “William Tell Overture” plays we can’t but think of the masked ranger.
The Virginian
Based on the western novel, The Virginian has been remade countless times. It was made into two films but its most notable iteration came when it was made into the first “talking” western film, featuring Gary Cooper as the titular character.
