Also, "Crash of the Moons" got the MST3K treatment, as did at least one
movie in the career of Casey Adams.

Just another dewdrop on the web of life,

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif. (AP) - Nan Leslie, known for her roles as a
cowboy's romantic interest in Western films in the 1940s and 1950s and once
linked to Gene Autry, died Sunday of complications from pneumonia. She was 74.

Leslie appeared in more than 40 movies, including ``George White's Scandals''
(1945), ``Under the Tonto Rim'' (1947), ``Guns of Hate'' (1948) and ``Train to
Tombstone'' (1950).

She also made appearances on a handful of television shows, including ``Perry
Mason'' and ``The Lone Ranger.''

Leslie often played the cowboy's romantic interest, and was romantically linked
to Autry and Tim Holt.

She also played the love interest on the "Fury" series. I presume her
character was interested in Peter Graves and not the wrinkled old
ranchhand or, God forbid, the horse.

Nan also played Trinka in "Crash of the Moons," a short feature that
was cobbled together from a three-episode arc of the "Rocky Jones:
Space Ranger" series. Cowboy actor Lane Bradford (from the Adventures
of Superman episode "Jet Ace" and others) played her husband, who ruled
one of the moons; John Banner played the ruler of the other moon, which
dovetails nicely with the Bob Crane thread. "Crash of the Moons" is
occasionally shown on cable.

Nan's last film was 1968's "The Bamboo Saucer," an interesting Cold War
thing about a secret U.S. expedition to recover a flying saucer that
had crashed in Red China. (Now when was the last time anybody said Red
China?)
