Trivia:
Even as an infant, Gail Davis was "playing" characters younger than herself; she won the Most Beautiful Baby in Arkansas contest at the ripe old age of two. While a student at Texas University, Davis performed in a camp show, where she caught the eye of visiting celebrity Gene Autry. Placed under contract by Autry, she co-starred in 15 of his films and twice as many episodes of his various TV series, often cast as a pre-teen tomboy. From 1952 to 1956, she was starred on the Autry-produced TVer Annie Oakley. Even when production ceased on this series, Davis remained under contract to Autry, performing in his traveling rodeo as a rider, roper, and trick shooter. During this period, she was forbidden to cut off her trademarked Annie Oakley pigtails; it wasn't until 1959 that she was able to let down her hair, so to speak, as a guest star on The Perry Como Show. After a few more TV appearances, Gail Davis retired from acting; she later became a partner in a company that managed other celebrities.

Trivia:
On stage from the age of four, Robert Emmett Tansey was the son of vaudevillians John Tansey and Emma Tansey (née Purcell). Young Tansey made his screen debut at the age of 14 in 1911, but adolescence raised its ugly head and he returned to the legitimate stages. He was back in harness after World War I (using the names Al Lane or Bert Tansey), and later gained a modicum of fame as a true jack-of-all-trades, low-budget style. Using several variations of his given name, including Robert Emmett and Bob Tansey, Tansey went on to supervise, assistant direct, direct, write, produce, and even compose the scores of low-budget Westerns and action melodramas, working with very little other than gusto and a remarkable ability to churn them out fast and furious. Never candidates for any awards, Tansey's films were high on action but low on credibility, thespian prowess, bankable stars, and other Hollywood niceties. Yet he worked continuously between the dawn of sound and the early '50s, often employing brothers Sherry Tansey (aka James Sheridan) and John Tansey, and mother Emma Tansey.
