His Career Went On
There have been numerous products based on Rogers’ life and career, including toys, books, and even a Dell Comics comic book series. Like her husband, Evans became an international star after starring in almost 30 of his movies. In 1940, Rogers bought the rights to use his likeness and made a fortune.
New Popular Show
Since its debut on television in 1951, The Roy Rogers Show has been one of the most popular television shows of all time. The film featured Pat Brady as a sidekick. After six seasons and a total of 100 episodes, the show ended in June 1957. You’d think that the series’ popularity would be enough to keep the museum open, but it’s not.
