An Original Vintage 7" x 9" [18 x 23 cm] News Photo (Learn More) Tom Mix was a huge cowboy western star from the 1910s through the early 1930s. Along with his horse named Tony, he did his own stunts and was the king of cowboys during the 1920s. Some of his movies include: Dick Turpin, Riders of the Purple Sage, the Great K & A Train Robbery, The Man from Texas, and Destry Rides Again (in the title role as Tom Destry). Mix passed away in 1940 at the age of 60. He was driving his car and came upon a washed-out bridge. Unable to stop in time, his car swerved twice, then overturned in a gully (which is now known as "Tom Mix Wash"). A large suitcase situated on the package shelf behind his head, hurtled forward and struck him, breaking his neck. His funeral took place at the Little Church of the Flowers in Glendale, California, and was attended by thousands of fans and Hollywood personalities. He was interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery. Important Added Info: Note that this great news photo shows Tom Mix's funeral, with the minister and friends gathered around, and his trademark white hat lying on his casket. Also note that this news photo measures 7" x 9" [18 x 23 cm]. Condition: good to very good. Note that the still is rippled around the edges (because of the snipes on the back) and that causes it to not lay completely flat. This causes "distortion" in our image because it does not lay completely flat in our scanner, but this distortion is greater in our digital image than in the still itself (see our image).
