I love Lash Larue. He predates Indiana Jones, as being the first movie adventure hero to use a whip as a weapon, by almost 40 years. He's also among one of the earliest heroes to wear all black clothing in his adventures as well. Thanks for the adventures, Lash!
Always heard that Lash was the inspiration for Indy's whip! Got to work with Lash in his later years on some film projects. My good friend and production buddy Tim Ormond's dad had produced and directed some of Lash's films in Hollywood. He was a great guy!
Fascinating (though a bit sad & heartbreaking, if course). A shame Devo didn't have him appear in their video for the song "Whip It". His life certainly had it's highs & lows. Married 10 times ? Heavens to Murgatroyd ! I'm surprised there wasn't a revolving door named after him at the Los Angeles County Marriage Bureau ! I hope he was able to get a few more roles after this interview so he could get his SAG pension. Poor fellow. 😞
Epic Lash!
