|---|---|
| 1 | [on working with Bela Lugosi in Black Dragons (1942)] [He] seemed like a nice man. He was very courteous, but he generally stayed to himself working on his lines. |
| 2 | [in 1982] Clayton Moore and The Lone Ranger are one and the same. I'm proud that I decided to wear the white hat for the rest of my life. |
| 3 | [on 2/4/85, about his Lone Ranger costume] I will continue wearing the white hat and black mask until I ride up into the big ranch in the sky. |
| 4 | Once I got the Lone Ranger role, I didn't want any other. I was playing the good guy. |
| 5 | Playing him [the Lone Ranger] made me a better person. |

|---|---|
| 1 | Is the face of God in L.A. artist Kent Twitchell's mural of "The Holy Trinity" painted on the exterior of Otis Parson's Institute in downtown Los Angeles. |
| 2 | Appeared as The Lone Ranger welcoming guests to Frontierland on Disneyland's opening day July 17, 1955. |
| 3 | In 1988 when his pair of Colt 45s were stolen, he was given an unprecedented legal courtesy by the State District judge who allowed Moore to testify in his trademark white hat and dark glasses explaining, "I didn't want to be the one to reveal the identity of the Lone Ranger!". |
| 4 | Moore's Lone Ranger mask is on permanent display in the Museum of American Popular Culture at the Smithsonian Institution and is considered one of their 101 Greatest Objects, as noted in the book by Dr. Richard Kunin. |
| 5 | He was born on the 100th anniversary of the writing of the Star Spangled Banner. |
| 6 | Inducted into the Golden Valley [Minnesota] Hall of Fame in 2013. |
| 7 | He performed a trifecta with regard to appearing with the contemporary western heroes of the day. In 1948, one year prior to assuming the role of The Lone Ranger, he appeared in the Roy Rogers feature The Far Frontier (1948). During his hiatus from "The Lone Ranger" (1952-53), he appeared in four TV episodes - three times on The Gene Autry Show (1950) and as outlaw Trimmer Lane in Hopalong Cassidy: Lawless Legacy (1952). |
| 8 | In 1952 when John Hart assumed the role of "The Lone Ranger" for 52 episodes on ABC, CBS began showing reruns of the first 78 episodes (1949-1951) with Moore as "The Lone Ranger", on Saturday afternoons. When Moore returned to the series in 1954, he was seen as the "only Lone Ranger", twice weekly, on ABC and with reruns on CBS. |
| 9 | Appears as The Lone Ranger, with his horse Silver, on a 44¢ USA commemorative postage stamp in the Early TV Memories issue honoring The Lone Ranger (1949), issued 11 August 2009. |
| 10 | "Silvercup Bread" was the original sponsor of "The Lone Ranger" on radio. Hence, the use of silver bullets and his horse named "Silver". |
| 11 | In an earlier "masked" role, he was the title character in Ghost of Zorro (1949). |
| 12 | During his hiatus from The Lone Ranger (1949) in 1952-1953 he appeared in three serials: Radar Men from the Moon (1952), Son of Geronimo: Apache Avenger (1952) and Jungle Drums of Africa (1953). |
| 13 | Of the nearly 200 appearances Moore made with co-star Jay Silverheels, they appeared together in just four features where they did NOT play The Lone Ranger and Tonto: Kit Carson (1940), Perils of Nyoka (1942), The Cowboy and the Indians (1949), and The Black Dakotas (1954). |
| 14 | The Lone Ranger (1949) premiered on September 15, 1949, exactly one day after his 35th birthday. |
| 15 | Inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 1990. |
| 16 | Adopted a baby girl, Dawn Angela, in December of 1958. |
| 17 | He is the only person to have a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame with both his name AND the character he was famous for playing. His star says, "Clayton Moore, The Lone Ranger". |
| 18 | Liked to quote and live by "The Lone Ranger Creed" written by Fran Striker around 1940, which began, "I believe that to have a friend, a man must be one" and included moral lessons such as, "God put the firewood there, but every man must gather and light it himself". |
| 19 | Having a history of heart trouble, he died at 9:20 am PST of a heart attack, at West Hills Regional Medical Center in West Hills, Los Angeles. |
| 20 | "The Lone Ranger" premiered on WXYZ-AM radio in Detroit, MI, in 1933. The show was created because WXYZ, a small station, could not afford network programs. After getting the role in the TV series The Lone Ranger (1949), Moore had to train his voice to sound more like the radio Lone Ranger, Brace Beemer. Moore's favorite character was "The Ol' Prospector", in which the Lone Ranger would dress up as a crotchety old miner and infiltrate places to gather information. He used the character on his home answering machine in Calabasas, CA, and would greet callers with it. |
| 21 | Received the Western Heritage Award from the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in 1990. |
| 22 | Inducted into the Stuntman's Hall of Fame in 1982. |
| 23 | Best remembered as TV's "The Lone Ranger." |
