Allan Lane has been a mystery almost as long as he’s been seen on screen. Some know him as the never officially recognized voice of TV’s famous talking horse, Mister Ed. Others remember him as Red Ryder, the comic book Western hero come-to-life at the Saturday afternoon matinee. And even more remember him as Rocky Lane, yet another Western good guy, and a name which became synonymous with his own. Less well-known is that Allan Lane also had an earlier movie career, before he became a fast-riding cowboy. He began in films in 1929, often playing suave and debonair gentlemen that women could not resist. Over the years he worked with such leading ladies as Barbara Stanwyck, Loretta Young, and Joan Fontaine. Then there was Allan Lane the businessman. At a young age he became something of a vagabond, moving from place-to-place, often living on his own in a boarding house. This was how he got his education, and ultimately made his way in the world. Allan Lane owned his own successful photography agency when he was only twenty-four. Years later, when his Hollywood career was fading, he would return to what he knew best…his business background. In I Am Mister Ed… Allan Rocky Lane Revealed, Linda Alexander finally exposes the full scope of this enigmatic man and his complicated life. Finalist for The Marfield Prize, aka The National Award for Arts Writing, from the Arts Club of Washington
