Wild Bill - Card

William Surrey Hart (December 6, 1864 to June 23, 1946) was an American silent film actor, screenwriter, director and producer. Bill fought for courtesy, courage and honour. For his contribution to the motion picture industry, William S. Hart has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6363 Hollywood Blvd. In 1975, he was inducted into the Western Performers Hall of Fame at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. As part of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, California, Hart's former home and 260-acre (1.1 km²) ranch in Newhall is now William S. Hart Park. The William S. Hart High School District as well as William S. Hart Senior High School, both located in the Santa Clarita Valley in the northern part of Los Angeles County, were named in his honour. On November 10, 1962, Hart was honoured posthumously in an episode of the short-lived The Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Show, a western variety program on ABC.
