George Montgomery Movie & TV Collection
George Montgomery (born George Montgomery Letz, August 29, 1916 –
December 12, 2000) was an
American actor and stuntman who is best known as an actor in Western
film and television.
Montgomery was born George Montgomery Letz, the youngest of 15
children of Ukrainian immigrant
parents, in Brady, in Pondera County, northern Montana. He was
reared on a large ranch, where he
learned to ride horses and work cattle as a part of daily life. Letz
studied at the University of Montana in
Missoula for a year. Montgomery was more interested in a career in
film than in a college education.
Therefore, he left Montana for Hollywood. Two days after his arrival
there, he was working as a stunt man
on a Greta Garbo film at MGM. His cowboy skills got him stunt work
and a small acting part at the age of
18 in a 1935 Gene Autry film, The Singing Vagabond. He followed this
with bit parts and additional stunt
work as "George Letz" in mostly low-budget films. Those had all been
Westerns. He was in an
African adventure tale Hawk of the Wilderness (1938) with Herman
Brix. He went back to Westerns in
Southward Ho (1939) and The Arizona Kid (1939) with Roy Rogers,
South of the Border (1939) and In
Old Monterey (1939) with Gene Autry, Saga of Death Valley (1939);
Wall Street Cowboy
In 1939 he signed with 20th Century Fox, which billed him as George
Montgomery.
His first film at the studio was The Cisco Kid and the Lady (1939),
the first of The Cisco Kid series
Montgomery was billed fourth. He had a small role in Star Dust
(1940), and a bigger one in Young People (1940),
Shirley Temple's last film for Fox.
