ABOUT THE AUTHOR
MICHAEL F. BLAKE, A TWO-TIME EMMY AWARD–WINNING MAKEUP artist, has worked in the film and television industry for the past fifty-nine years.
As a child actor, Michael appeared in such television shows as Adam-12, The Lucy Show, The Munsters, Bonanza, Kung Fu, The Red Skelton Show, and Marcus Welby, M.D. At the age of twenty-one, he began his career as a makeup artist at Universal Studios. His credits include Westworld, Spider-Man 3, Soapdish, X-Men: First Class, Domino, Independence Day, Tough Guys, Police Academy II, Strange Days, Magnum, P.I., and Happy Days.
A respected film scholar, with a master’s degree from UCLA, Michael’s three books on silent screen legend Lon Chaney are considered the definitive volumes on the actor. He has also written Code of Honor: The Making of High Noon, Shane, and The Searchers and Hollywood and the O.K. Corral, which are praised as important works about the Western genre.
A longtime admirer of Theodore Roosevelt, he spent three years traversing the Badlands on foot and on horseback, researching every aspect relating to TR’s days in the Dakotas. Like the man he has written about, Michael has driven cattle, crossed rivers on horseback, and spent sunrise to sunset in the saddle, which gives him an authoritative voice relating to Roosevelt’s days in the American West.
Michael lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Linda, and their dogs, Charli and Dobie. His two adopted mustangs, Theodore and Dillon, run free at the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary.
