  Lash La Rue - Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
After a long pause studying the young actor's face, she asked, "Did your mother ever meet Humphrey Bogart?" Alfred "Lash" LaRue was born in Louisiana (although some records indicate Michigan) to a traveling salesman and spent his formative years moving all across the country.
LaRue quickly adopted an all-fl wardrobe and rode a jet fl horse to accentuate his image as a bad guy/good guy, or sort of an early western anti-hero.
LaRue was assigned a sidekick, the hard-drinking, middle-aged Al St. John, beginning with Law of the Lash (1947) and the two gradually became good friends.

  Lash La Rue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Rue developed his image as a cowboy hero dressed all in fl and inherited from Buster Crabbe a comic sidekick in the form of "Fuzzy Q. Jones" played by the great Al St. John.
La Rue was very different from the usual cowboy hero of the era--- dressed in fl, he spoke with a "city tough-guy" accent, somewhat like that of Humphrey Bogart, whom he also somewhat resembled.
La Rue died in Burbank, California and is believed to be interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.

La Rue followed this small success with a tiny part in The Master Key (1945), and then he won a secondary role in the new Eddie Dean western series.
With his new popularity, the handsome Al La Rue, now billed as Lash La Rue in honor of his bullwhip talent, was elevated to his own series in 1947 in which, still dressed in fl, he continued to play Cheyenne, with his perpetual snarl.
In his last years, La Rue continued to drive around Hollywood in his 1968 fl Cadillac hearse with a bumper sticker that read "God Loves You" and lived on social security and "love offerings." La Rue was also a popular speaker at western and nostalgia conventions and film festivals.
