What was Roy Rogers' childhood like?
Roy Rogers, born Leonard Franklin Slye (November 5, 1911 - July 6, 1998), AKA 'King of the Cowboys'was a very popular American.
Singer, cowboy actor, and the namesake of the Roy Rogers Restaurants chain, he has three different stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
His childhood was, to say the least, rough. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, where his family had a place in a tenement on 2nd Street. Riverfront Stadium was subsequently built in 1970 on that spot, and 'Roy' would joke that he'd been 'born on second base'.
Leonard never did graduate high school, even after taking night school while working with his father at a shoe factory. Having been rocked by the economic hardships of the Great Depression, he and his family virtually became refugees, picking fruit and living in worker campsites.
When his father sought work at another shoe factory in Los Angeles, Leonard told his dad that he wanted to pursue a career in the music business. By 1932, he was touring with his cousin Stanley Slye, billed as "The Slye Brothers".

"Look, I hate smoking. It took my parents from me, my father with lung cancer, my mother with emphysema. They both liked Luckies. When my dad's cancer was diagnosed, they played it safe and switched to Winstons. When my mother was breathing oxygen through a tube, she'd take out the tube, turn off the oxygen, and light up. I avoid smokers. It isn't allowed in our house. When I see someone smoking, it feels like i'm watching them bleed themselves, one drip at a time."
- Roger Ebert

Roy rogers first starring role was in what film?
Roy Rogers in TV shows played a modern Western Sheriff who used both Horses and modern vehicles ( such as Jeeps) Both were shown as were, from what I understood Guided missile sites in the desert, a most modern touch. Roy Rogers was classed as a juvenile western. Violence directed against lead characters- particularily Law Enforcement characters, was a no-no. It wasn"t done. The argument can be stretched in saying there is no real suspense- no matter what the background music, in serial fiction, as the show must go on next week, etc. It is a mere matter of logic. you don"t kill off your lead character.

Ginger Rogers died of congestive heart failure. She was Christian Scientist and didn't want any methods to revive her. There was an autopsy because it was legal to have on, if the deceased had not seen a doctor within the past 40days.
He lived a number of places here. Probably the only one I've actually seen is a house off of Highway 18, on the corner of Symeron. I believe the address is 19856 Outer Highway 18 N.

How much is a Roy Rogers with trigger lamp worth with the original shade?
You did not say whether your lamp was metal or ceramic The one auctioned at the following URL in Spring 2005 was metal and sold for $350 (but was valued at more): http://www.liveauctioneers.com/h/item/835676?prev=search&ah=249-7c000 The one auctioned at the following URL in Spring 2005 was ceramic and sold for $300 (but was valued at more). I have a lamp like this, but it has been sprayed with gold paint. You can still see the "autograph". I wonder how much it would be worth? http://www.liveauctioneers.com/h/item/835931?prev=search&ah=249-7c000 At the following URL, they seem to be describing the Roy Rogers and Trigger lamp, valuing it at $1,500 to $2,000, but the ceramic lamp actually valued that high was Roy Rogers standing by himself without Trigger. They had two. One sold for $1,300 and one sold for $850: http://www.toyzine.com/auctions/morphy-toy-auction-200503.htm
