RIP. I always liked this guy, he seemed to be one of those actors that came across as a genuinely nice guy, unlike the crap Hollywood passes of as stars today.
Born Dayle Lymoine Robertson to Melvin and Vervel Robertson in Harrah on July 14, 1923, Robertson attended Oklahoma Military College at 17 and boxed in professional prize fights to earn money.
He joined the U.S. Army and fought in North Africa and Europe during World War II. Robertson was wounded twice and awarded the Bronze and Silver Stars and the Purple Heart.

Dale Robertson had bit parts in films including The Boy With the Green Hair and the Joan Crawford vehicle Flamingo Road before landing more high-profile roles such as Jesse James in Fighting Man of the Plains.
In the 1950s, he moved into television, starring in series such as Tales of Wells Fargo (1957-62), Iron Horse (1966) and Death Valley Days (1968-70).
