The article was posted on a website about Charles Manson, who around the time of the infamous Manson Family murders in 1969 was headquartered at the Spahn Movie Ranch, located just across Santa Susana Pass Road from the entry gate to Iverson. The grave and tombstone of Sally Angela Moore, 1912-1986, the wife of Clayton Moore.A while back I landed on an interesting article from 1986 about development on the site of the former Iverson Movie Ranch and in the nearby hills above Chatsworth, Calif., which were once home to other movie ranches - Bell Ranch, Brandeis and Spahn, among others. The mask of The Lone Ranger now resides at the Smithsonian. His remains were buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, California.
Moore ultimately won the suit and resumed wearing the mask, making public appearances and speaking highly of the ideals of the crime fighting duo of The Lone Ranger and Tonto.Ĭlayton Moore died on Decemof a heart attack in the West Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. Moore responded by switching to similar looking sun glasses and counter suing. In 1979, a court order obtained by the owner of the fictional character prohibited Moore from making further appearances with the familiar Lone Ranger mask. Clayton Moore fully embraced The Lone Ranger character and enjoyed making numerous public appearances as The Lone Ranger character. Most actors resist being too identified with a particular acting role for fear that it would lead to them being offered only other very similar roles. In later years, both Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels appeared in a number of commercials as their characters. Two later films also starred Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels: The Lone Ranger (1956) and The Lone Ranger and The Lost City of Gold (1958). Jay Silverheels portrayed the character of Tonto throughout the series. Of the 221 episodes, Clayton Moore starred as The Lone Ranger in 169 episodes. Later seasons after season five were repeats of earlier episodes. Moore was unexplainedly replaced for season three by John Hart.

The Lone Ranger television series was broadcast between 19 with Clayton Moore starring in seasons one and two and again in seasons four and five. Familiar elements of the The Lone Ranger series included silver bullets made from the silver from a mine that the Lone Ranger owned the distinctive mask phrases such as "Hi-yo, Silver! Away!" "Ke-mo Sah-bee" and "Who was that masked man?" and the rearing up of the Lone Ranger's horse, Silver, as he and Tonto rode to their destination with the distinctive music of the William Tell Overture. Originally a long running and highly successful radio program of the same name broadcast between 19, the show became an equally successful television series starring Clayton Moore in the title role along with Jay Silverheels as his important and faithful companion in the role of Tonto. After working as a model, and as a bit actor and stunt man in a variety of movies, mostly westerns, Moore landed the role that he is forever identified with: The Lone Ranger.
