Actor, singer and songwriter Smiley Burnette

vaudeville
before joining
his friend, Gene Autry, on the radio show,
The National Barn Dance
.
Burnette and Autry broke into films together
in 1934 (
In Old Santa Fe
), and they went on to appear in over 80 Westerns. Burnette, who
played Autry's sidekick, Frog Milhouse
, also provided
comic relief for other Western stars
, including Sunset Carson and Charles "Durango Kid" Starrett. A talented musician who played over 100 instruments, Burnette
wrote over 300 Western songs
, some of which he sang in his films. After retiring from the big screen in 1953, Burnette debuted on the small screen in 1958, appearing as a
regular on the TV series,
Ranch Party
. His
best known TV role was as Charley Pratt
(1963-1967) on the TV sitcom,
Petticoat Junction
.
Carl Cohen
was an actor and Las Vegas casino manager and executive.
He is best remembered for punching Frank Sinatra in the face in 1967 at the Sands Hotel. The dispute began after Sinatra was denied casino credit, he began to yell and threaten Cohen, to which Cohen replied with a punch.
Sinatra and the "Rat Pack" had called the sands home, but moved their show to Caesars Palace soon after the incident.
Cohen later became vice-president of the Sands and MGM Grand hotels. He appeared in an un-credited role as a craps cashier in the 1947 film
The Invisible Wall
