Artist Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944) boldly asserted his support for American intervention in World War I before the country formally declared war on Germany. He was best known for his creation of the Gibson Girl, an iconic representation of the beautiful and independent Euro-American woman at the turn of the 20th century. His wife, Irene Langhorne, and her four sisters inspired his images. He published his illustrations in “Life” magazine and other major national publications for more than 30 years, becoming editor of “Life” in 1918 and later owner of the magazine. [Source: Wikipedia]

Known as the "King of the Cowboys", Roy Rogers (1911-1998) appeared in over 100 films and numerous radio and television episodes of "The Roy Rogers Show." In many of his films and television episodes, he appeared with his wife, Dale Evans; his golden palomino, Trigger; and his German shepherd dog, Bullet. His show was broadcast on radio for nine years and then on television from 1951 through 1957. His productions usually featured a sidekick, often Pat Brady, Andy Devine, or George "Gabby" Hayes. In his later years, Rogers lent his name to the franchise chain of Roy Rogers Restaurants. [Source: Wikipedia]
