Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1948)

Montez, Jean Pierre Aumont and the celebrated French star, Claude Dauphin. Roy. looked a little helpless when they lapsed into French. Maria, sensing he couldn’t understand them and fearing he might think he was the subject of their conversation, immediately lapsed back into English. That struck Roy as a very “folksy” thing to do. But as much as he enjoyed meeting the Hollywood folks, he has no intention of becoming an habitue of the night clubs with a different girl on his arm every night. He’ll never go the way of some attractive “eligibles” who have let the tinsel and the flattery of beautiful women affect them. Roy Rogers is too much of a real person. He’s too much “just folks.” On the way home he summed it all up for me. “I guess that’s one of the nicest evenings I ever spent,” he said appreciatively. “When I was a kid I never dreamed I’d ever be meeting those millionaires and famous people. You know, when I was a boy I was very poor. I never had a pair of shoes until I was almost twelve years old. My family lived in Duck Run, near Portsmouth, Ohio, and just from hand to mouth. My two sisters were child brides, married when they were fourteen. “As I see it, the nicest and best thing about having a little money is that I am able now to do things for my family. I gave them a new Plymouth last Christmas,” he explained. “It was the first new car they ever had and their happiness was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. This evening I’ve just spent, thanks to you, is another big moment in my life 1 guess when you get down to it, people are all just folks, whether they’re rich or poor.” And when you get right down to Roy Rogers — that philosophy is what makes him such a swell guy and will be responsible for keeping those cowboy boots of his right on the ground even in a town like Hollywood.
