Biography[edit]

Fred Burns was born on April 24, 1878, in Fort Keogh, Montana.[1] For six years, he was in charge of Buffalo Bill Cody's ranch near Cheyenne, Wyoming. He "broke" wild mustangs for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show.[2] He traveled with Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, and later with the 101 Ranch Wild West Show.[1] Burns was a roping champion for five years in the early 1900s.[3]

By 1916, he had moved to Hollywood to work in movies full-time. He appeared in 23 movies between 1921 and 1930, and 91 movies during the sound era.[1] He also was in charge of the stock at Fine Arts Studios.[4]

Burns died in Los Angeles, California, on July 18, 1955, at age 77.[1]
