Tom Mix

 Tom Mix was a true trailblazer of the silver screen — a man who didn’t just play cowboys; he actually was a real one. Before John Wayne and before Clint Eastwood, there was Tom Mix: rodeo champ, stuntman, superstar, and the face and headliner of over 290 films. He was one of the movies’ first Western stars and helped define the genre in the beginning. He was a pioneer, a showman, and a symbol of the American frontier myth.
