Waurika, Oklahoma, USA:
Der Schauspieler und Stuntman Boyd Franklin „Red“ Morgan wurde am 24. Oktober 1915 in Waurika, Oklahoma, geboren. Die ersten zwölf Jahre seines Lebens verbrachte er auf einer Farm mit Viehzuchtbetrieb. Seine Highschool-Zeit begann er in Hobbs, New Mexico, und beendete sie in Holtville, Kalifornien. Als herausragender Sportler besuchte Morgan ab 1935 die University of Southern California mit einem Football-Stipendium und gab 1936 sein Filmdebüt als Footballspieler. Nach seinem College-Abschluss wurde er von den Washington Redskins angeworben, bevor er 1940 zur Pacific Coast League wechselte und für die Hollywood Bears und die Birmingham Generals spielte. 1942 trat Morgan als Fähnrich in die US-Marine ein und arbeitete nach seinem Militärdienst bis 1948 als Footballtrainer an der Polytechnic High School in Long Beach, Kalifornien. Ende der 1940er-Jahre beschloss er, eine Karriere als Schauspieler und Stuntman einzuschlagen. Zu den namhaften Schauspielern, deren Double er war, zählten Stuart Whitman, Dean Martin, Scott Brady, Gene Evans, Darren McGavin, Jim Davis, Peter Graves und Leo Gordon. Morgan war eine feste Größe im Western-Kino und Fernsehen und seine Karriere im Showbusiness umfasste insgesamt über fünf Jahrzehnte. Boyd starb am 8. Januar 1988 im Alter von 72 Jahren in Tarzana, Kalifornien, an einem Herzinfarkt.
