LOS ANGELES (AP) — Muriel Evans, a versatile actress wooed by Hopalong Cassidy and other heroes in westerns of the 1930s and '40s, died Thursday of colon cancer. She was 90.
The blond beauty appeared in more than 40 movies, including an uncredited role in Frank Capra's Academy Award-winning 1936 "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" starring Gary Cooper, but she was best known for her westerns.
In addition to "Call of the Prairie" and other films opposite William "Hopalong Cassidy" Boyd, Evans made "Law for Tombstone" and "Boss Rider of Gun Creek."
