Heroine of the Month: Louise Stanley
Hollywood is a strange place, where you can be under contract to a studio but never actually work there. Such was the career of popular western leading lady Louise Stanley, who though she was signed by first Paramount and then Warner Brothers, spent he time being loaned out to other studios like Universal, Republic and Monogram.
Though apparently on permanent loan out, Stanely was a prolific actress during her short time in the limelight, stariing in Lawless Land (1937), Sing, Cowboy, Sing (1937), Riders of the Rockies (1937), Thunder in the Desert (1938), Gunsmoke Trail (1938), Durango Valley Raiders (1938), Gun Packer (1938), The Cheyenne Kid (1940), Land of the Six Guns (1940) and Sky Bandits (1940). Her one serial was Universal’s The Oregon Trail (1939) as the daughter of a wagon train leader who helps under cover agent Johnny Mack Brown clean up the criminal gang headed by James Blaine that is inciting Indians to keep settlers out of the fur rich territory of Oregon.
