Clayton Moore on Real People 1980

[@TomTimeTraveler]

Clayton Moore is THE gold standard for a true, genuine role model for children of all generations. He was and is my hero.

[@one4freedom931]

And NO ONE who ever tried to do The Lone Ranger after Clayton was any good at it! Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels set the bar too high for ANY other actors to EVER successfully portray The Lone Ranger and Tonto.

[@jaketanner20001]

That's is so true. Nobody better.

[@petersmith264]

Amen

[@robertortiz8540]

Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels may they both rest in peace.

[@michaelkochevar542]

Total class act on TV and in real life. A true American! The world needs him then, today, and in the future! RIP

[@faith6857]

This video drove me to tears; it is so beautiful, so wrought with the spirit of the Lone Ranger's values: truth, justice, perseverance, fighting the good fight. What a precious man. He is a legend. He loved God's people so much. He said "I believe in my country, my Creator, and certainly my fellow man." Would that more actors today lived like the Lone Ranger on and off screen! May God's truth and justice shine forth in this dark, grimly cold world. May the virtues of the Lone Ranger live on in our hearts!!

[@RobertWPaine]

The values I received from the Masked Man have kept me on the straight and narrow path. I often failed to live up to the Ranger’s Creed but I’ve never stopped trying in 73 years. Thank you, Kemosabe.

[@thomaschacko6320]

Fabulous human being, with one of the greatest voices of all time! God bless Clayton Moore for all he gave to us! RIP, noble hero!

[@johnbertrand7185]

One of the very few actors who not only didn't mind being remembered as only one character, he relished it.

[@davidleidy9288]

I loved Real People. Where are the Heroes Today? What a great Man. What excitement when he came out. Some things were definitely better in the “Old Days”

[@FrankBenlin]

This was filmed at Irving Mall in Irving, Texas. The female officer behind him at 6:02 is my big sister. She was assigned to him as his bodyguard while making his appearance there. It was really cool to think she was guarding him then, after we grew watching him and Tonto as our hero's on TV. Love ya Dink. A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hearty Hi-Yo, Silver, away!

That's awesome to know! Did you have this on tape also?

His daughter says that when they went out in public he never let on who he was. But every now and then someone would recognize his voice and be awe struck. She said he was a great father too.

The late Jim Croce recorded a song titled You Don't Mess Around With Jim, & pa rt of the lyrics goes like this-You don't pull the mask off t he old Lone Ranger & you d on't mess around with Jim.

[@jamesdouglas994]

Like William Boyd, who played Hopalong Cassidy, Clayton Moore lived like the character he portrayed. I miss him.

[@chriscole6939]

Clayton Moore was and is the only Lone Ranger! He was a good man and didn't deserve what the people who made that disastrous 1981 movie did to him. Mr. Moore may be gone, but the Lone Ranger and Tonto will ride forever!

[@faith6857]

Amen! I have not watched that movie, and never will. The original Lone Ranger- Clayton Moore- is the one and only Lone Ranger to me!!!❤

Mr. Moore had to be about 65 when he did this show. He looks great ! He will for a certain generation always be the Lone Ranger, just Johnny Weissmuller will always be Tarzan

Why can't modern day celeberties be like that?! Lessons to be learned! All the great are all but gone.

Yep, Karma got them right in the pocketbook, where it counts.

[@azmike3572]

Anyone else in tears watching this?

[@YodasBlessedLife]

I remember watching this in 1980

[@robertpanetta7912]

The Courts of the U S should be ashamed of themselves. Here is a person along with Tonto who stood for many of the beliefs this country was founded on . He was not allowed to wear his mask because of money, the root of all evil. For the people who know of the Lone Ranger know that he will always be with them especially in their hearts

[@jonathanwright8025]

Legally, the Jack Wrather corp. owned the Lone Ranger copyright, so the judge had to grant the injunction against Moore, if they requested he stop appear in character. The judge has to follow the law, regardless of their personal feeling.

[@johnmagill7714]

Mr. Moore was royally screwed. That Movie they pushed with the new Lone Ranger, was a huge massive failure. I'm not sure but he eventually got his Mask back. He was my childhood hero, after my dad died in 74 when I was 10. He, the Lone Ranger helped me through a difficult period. Never met the man but sure wish I could have even for just a moment. I turn 60 later this year. You know what? He's still my hero to this day, and always will be. Hes what every man should strive to be. Anytime I find the Lone Ranger on TV. I watch it. He got his mask back in 1985. The look on Sarah Purcel's face when he gave her that silver bullet. The man was in every way the Real Lone Ranger. Thank you Mr. Moore for helping me through a difficult time as a kid.

[@gerrydooley951]

it was great for him, loads of free publicity and $$$$$$$$$

[@beaudare4717]

The look on Sarah Purcell's face when Clayton Moore kisses her on the cheek, says it all. A beautiful moment.

[@BeauDare-ov7py]

Hollywood could take a lesson.

[@magovenor]

I couldn’t begin to put in words what that show meant to a chronic asthmatic kid, who missed so many days of school and had to stay home by myself. But the first note of the William Tell overture seemed to make being sick easy to ignore for a few moments.

[@psw4763]

So ridiculous. Give me a break. This is pathetic. Lone Ranger you rock that mask. Glad he got it back.

This a cool video thanks for sharing. You can tell he was a great guy. Handing out pictures and getting with his funs. Now a days stars don't do that they ask for you to pay for a picture and to meet them.

[@tomhunter965]

He was able to retain the mask and continue to portray himself as the Lone Ranger. In 1979, Jack Wrather, who owned the Lone Ranger character, obtained a court order prohibiting Moore from making future appearances as The Lone Ranger. Moore was able to keep the mask and Wrather died two months later.

The company owns the character; he was an actor. They had the right to prohibit him from wearing the mask. Even if it was an asshole thing to do. To most of us baby boomers, Clayton Moore was THE Lone Ranger.

[@epic103]

You are correct, but they should of let him wear it. Like you said, he was the Lone Ranger. They should have work something out with him because he is so iconic in that role. Cheers

Both movie remakes about The Lone Ranger bombed. The Disney version with Johnny Depp i only saw the promos for it when i went to see other movies some years ago. Every time I saw the promos for that awful version, i cried because it wasn't Clayton Moore.

@@Flipperhome I had NO desire to see the Disney remake of "The Lone Ranger." I saw enough of it in promos in theaters for other movies I went to see. I could tell from the scenes showed that it was crap, and I still cried because it was NOT Clayton Moore. The actors in the Disney remake of TLR were absolutely AWFUL. I did see the 1980s one with Klinton Spilsbury later on TV, and didn't like that one either, though I'm sure it was Not as bad as the Disney remake.

[@markwatson-vk2lh]

It's intriguing to watch the preliminary episodes of 'The Lone Ranger ' from 1949, which were mostly shot at the top of what is now Red Mesa Drive in Chatsworth. Neither Clayton Moore nor Jay Silverheels were very good actors at that time but of course both of them became fine actors. And bare in mind that television was in its infancy; there were very few templates for creating new characters, besides movies of course.

The taking away the mask was not what people think. He was trash talking the movie. The studio was trying to primate the movie and he said it was not a good story, the actor was bad, he didn’t want the movie released and disgrace the image. They took away the mask to shut him up on his public appearances. Then redubbed the lead actors voice. The movie was a flop and the producers lost their money and could not fight him in court. He got his mask back.

[@LinkRocks]

Clayton Moore is and will always be the Lone Ranger. I'm glad that movie bombed since the people behind it did Mr. Moore wrong.

[@tommywarren2178]

The only reason they took his master away to start with his so they could push that new movie with klinton spilsbury

[@knghtgraphixstudios5475]

Jack Wrather paid a heavey price for his actions. His effort to take away as long ranger resulted him producing the Legend of the Lone Ranger,which became the worst movie made that year, since no one wanted to see the film without Clayton more.
