LANE CHANDLER (1899-1972)
Cowboy Movie Star

A man born in North Dakota became a major motion picture star at Paramount Studios until he was replaced by Gary Cooper. Lane Chandler was the male lead in movies made by Paramount in the late 1920s. However, when they decided to go exclusively with Cooper in their action films, Chandler was forced to go to minor studios and find starring roles. He later became one of Hollywood’s most dependable character actors, appearing in over 300 movies and countless television shows.
