William 'Hopalong Cassidy' Boyd
Special thanks to Susie Coffman for lending some great pictures for this page!
| At last, Grace Bradley Boyd has co-authored her memoirs about her life with William Boyd, better known to millions of fans as Hopalong Cassidy. Only three weeks after their first meeting, Grace became Mrs. William Boyd in 1937. From the day of her wedding until Bill's death in 1972, they were together virtually all of the time. She tells the story of the Hoppy movies in the 1930s and 1940s, the decline of western films in the late 1940s, and how Bill set out to acquire all the rights to the Hopalong Cassidy films and even the name to become one of the biggest stars of early television. This new book will be the definitive account of William Boyd and Hopalong Cassidy, published as a deluxe hardcover coffee-table book in two editions. The limited edition of only 1000 copies is bound in real leather and each copy is numbered and signed by Grace Bradley Boyd. The trade edition (not limited) will be popularly priced and available in bookstores everywhere and Amazon.com. Co-authored by Grace Bradley Boyd and Michael Cochran, published by Russ Cochran through Gemstone Publishing. For more information call: 1-800-322-7978 Or go to:www.russcochran.com or AMAZON.COM |

The mystery of the missing painting commissioned by Dorothy Sebastian
In the 1940's the painting was sold as part and parcel along with the Malibu
Hills house and all of it's furnishings because at this time William Boyd was
trying to get together enough cash to purchase the rights to the Hopalong
Cassidy character.
