Joel McCrea

Utah's Little Hollywood

Actor Joel McCrea made more films in Kanab than any other major star. “Union Pacific” in 1939, “Buffalo Bill” in 1944, “Ramrod” in 1947, “The Outsiders” in 1950 and “Trooper Hook” in 1957. Mr. McCrea was considered one of Hollywood’s best riders and along with his wife, actress Frances Dee they were one of the town’s favorite couples, living the western lifestyle when off camera.
