Will Rogers
Humorist, Actor, Author. His most famous quote, "I never
met a man I didn't like." As a boy, Will was taught the lariat
by a former slave and became an expert rider and roper. He
went to Hollywood in 1918 and eventually starred in over 70
features and shorts. In 1934 he was voted the most popular
actor in Hollywood. His popularity knew almost no bounds. He
once declined a nomination for the governorship of Oklahoma,
but served as the mayor of Beverly Hills. Wiley Post, one
of the most famous aviators in the world at the time, was a
friend of Roger's who shared a love of flying. The pair set
off in Post's Lockheed Orion Sirius Explorer equipped with
floats in the summer of 1935. Most experts now believe that
a combination of miscalculations in the design and operation
of the heavily customized aircraft resulted in the uncontrol-
lable spin that occurred right after takeoff. They crashed
at Point Barrow, Alaska, on August 15, 1935. Both men were
killed on impact.
Died: August 15, 1935
Born: November 4, 1879
