Cowboy Princess : Life with My Parents Roy Rogers and Dale Evans
Cowboy Princess Life with My Parents Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Author:Cheryl Rogers-Barnett In this book the eldest daughter of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans tells the story of America's most famous cowboy and cowgirl. The oldest daughter of Western stars Roy Rogers and Dale Evans has written a memoir as homespun as her parents' TV shows (The Roy Rogers Show, The Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Show). Unlike most children brought up in t... more »he entertainment industry, Rogers-Barnett describes a life devoid of dysfunction. Yes, there was tragedy (three children died prematurely), but the author is more concerned with recounting the family's triumphs, such as Dale's best-selling inspirational books, the adopted children, and the family's deep religious beliefs. There is also a chapter on Trigger, Roy's faithful equine companion on screen. (Three different horses actually played that role: Little Horse, Trigger Junior, and Old Trigger, the one most seen in movies and TV and later stuffed.) Rogers-Barnett adds some personal notes about her short stint in show business and her life after that. Overall, readers will find nothing earth-shattering here, just some good, G-rated entertainment la Roy and Dale's Happy Trails.« less
