The ‘F Troop’ Cast Members Who Are No Longer With Us, Including The Last One To Go

From Forrest Tucker to Larry Storch, here is what happened to the cast of ‘F Troop’ after Fort Courage, and who was the last trooper standing. “The end of the Civil War was near when quite accident’ly, a hero who sat in the rear fought the battle in reverse.” If you can still hum the rest of “The Ballad of F Troop,” you probably spent a night a week in the mid-1960s at Fort Courage, where the cavalry ran a souvenir business with the local tribe and the commanding officer could not walk through a doorway without tripping over it.

Chateau Alto Nido: Hollywood's Hilltop Survivor and Its Place in Sunset Boulevard

Hollywood is absolutely masterful at filming its own history while the places where that history took place disappear. Mansions get torn down; larger developments replace apartment buildings and the streets themselves are pretty much unrecognizable. Yet at 1851 North Ivar Avenue, looking out over Franklin Avenue, one of Hollywood's most distinctive residential properties has survived for nearly one hundred years. Chateau Alto Nido with its red tile roof, pale stucco walls, arched openings and wrought iron balconies is a very real physical manifestation of the astonishing transformation of the area during the early days of the talking picture.
