Tom Mix (1880-1940)

Well, apparently the New York Times thought enough of Tom, to make his death front page news. And no wonder, when your characters never smoked a cigarette in a picture, and never went into a saloon, except to "deal justice to a bad man," you're doing pretty OK in my book.

We could stand to have a few more examples like Tom in the entertainment world today.
