Notable figures in Western films

Notable figures in Western style motion pictures and/or television series some of whom have been voted into the Hall of Great Western Performers at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States.

Most every cowboy star usually rode the same horse in their films. A few of these horses, such as Roy Rogers' Trigger and The Lone Ranger's Silver, became stars in their own right.
