Best Answer

Davis and Autry were a couple for a number of years. I've interviewed people who knew and worked with them at the time and it was a well known fact. They made no attempt to hide the affair. I have two vhs tapes from Knoxville memorabilia shows. In both the Davis-Autry is the subject of a lot of comments. Gail Davis and Carolina Cotton were on both panels.

Here is an article that add's controversy!

Did Gail Davis have an affair with Gene3 Autry? It seems so!

Last paragragh "quote" -

"But even rodeo saints inevitably betray feet of clay. George-Warren dutifully records Autry's ongoing battle with the bottle and his pursuit of co-star Gail Davis, resulting in an affair of several years, to the chagrin of his wife. Yet Gene Autry remains an immense figure in 20th-century entertainment, not least because he embodied the fantasy of an untarnished hero. "He believed the myths," George-Warren says. As Autry guilelessly told the author that afternoon in 1997, "I just want to be what people want me to be." Holly George-Warren will read and sign copies of Public Cowboy No. 1: The Life and Times of Gene Autry on May 12 from 5 to 7 pm upstairs at Joshua's in Woodstock.
