De

Found on Ebay. This was listed under Gunfight at OK Corral but I think it's from later, maybe around 1960-1961. I feel like I should really know the other 3 people in the photo but I can't place them.

The Lone Ranger Gold Train Photos & Autographs

You can find the episode on YouTube. I think it's the best Lone Ranger De did. The funniest part is right before the first photo, the short guy (named Horseface Jackson) comes in the jail hootin' and hollerin' and shooting off his gun and De (The Sheriff) just says "Cut that out." Lol.

Man, to be the owner of autographed photo.! Lucky!

Candid De

Found this on a public page on Facebook (I'm not stalking people I swear!). This was for a Palmetto Cheese contest (say cheese) and the caption read: "Me and my cousin all dressed for a 9th grade dance; more years than I like to think about have passed. With us in the picture is my mother's cousin DeForest Kelley." She thought the picture was from around 1961.

DeForest Kelley Fan Club Postcards 1948

Autographed by De in green ink and has stamped:

JOIN DeFOREST KELLEY FAN CLUB ALICE MEYERS, PRESIDENT 290 BONITA AVENUE SAN JOSE 12, CALIFORNIA

Probably signed it in green ink to show it wasn't a copy.

W-4 and Phone Book

Amazing the things you find on the internet.

De's W-4 from 1954.

Happy to find the above as I was able to confirm this entry in the February 1955 phone book with the address. This was a small apartment complex built in 1940, 2 stories with 8 units. They moved here in 1953 after returning from NY in 1952 and staying with friends at first.

@cheer-deforest-kelley Another address for you!

In honor of Pet Day, De and Carolyn's pets:

Myrtle the Turtle

Cheers and Fancy

This may be Cherie the one that briefly escaped in New York (and the one John Carradine taught to say "F- Hollywood"). I think they had at least one other bird.

Missing Maggie the Cat and all the other wild critters that made their way into their yard.

Japanese Magazine

Bought on Ebay.

I cannot read Japanese, but Reddit says the translation is:

"DeForest Kelly relaxing at his home in Sharman Oaks, California. There with him are his wife Calorine and his dog John he loves like a son. John sits on his knees all day long and never leaves him."

🤣

You Are There - Update

Well the great news is De was in "The Surrender of Corregidor" and features pretty heavily and gave an amazing performance.

The good news is the handicam recording of the film worked alright. (Will be posted today or tomorrow). There's definitely worse copies of De that have been posted on the internet. I am looking locally to see if someone in my area can professionally transfer it to digital.

The bad news is De is NOT in the "Surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown." Nor was he in the the 3 other episodes that were in the lot ("The Boston Tea Party," "The Hatfield-McCoy Feud," nor "The Hamilton-Burr Duel"). Looking at IMDB, they have the same actors listed for both "Corregidor" and "Cornwallis" and I can assure you that Tor Johnson and Sammee Tong are not in "Cornwallis".

The worse news is that while the films are currently in good shape, they do have a slight vinegar smell to them which is a sign the film is starting to deteriorate. The films came in canisters but I don't have the proper storage place (cold and dry) for them. So if someone is interested in all of them, maybe we can work something out, at least for the shipping. I'd hate for these films to just be lost, even though there are multiple copies floating around.
