Lesson Twenty-one Part one William S Hart and the early western film

How did William Hart's childhood prepare him for his acting role in western films?

William. S. Hart was, perhaps, the greatest of all Western stars ,for unlike Gary Copper and John Wayne, he appeared in nothing but Westerns. From 1914 to 1924, he was supreme and unchallenged. It was Hart who created the basic formula of the Western film, and devised the protagonist he played in every film he made, the good-bad man, the accidental-noble outlaw , or the honest but framed cowboy, or the sheriff made suspect by vicious gossip, in short, the individual in conflict himself and his frontier environment. Unlike most of his contemporaries in Hollywood, Hart actually knew something of the old Western. He had lived in it as a child when it was already disappearing, and his hero was firmly rooted in his memories and experinces, and in both the history and the mythology of the vanished frontier.
