Brian D'Ambrosio presents his book, Montana Entertainers.
For more than a century, Montana has supplied a rich vein of entertainment and personality from daredevils to dancers and even mimes.
Treasure State stars Gary Cooper and Myrna Loy found unparalleled success during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Comedian Gilbert “Pee Wee” Holmes, born in Miles City in 1895, played sidekick to such stars as Tom Mix. One-time Butte resident Julian Eltinge went on to become America's first famous female impersonator.
There was Taylor Gordon, whose golden voice propelled the son of a slave from White Sulphur Springs to Harlem Renaissance fame. From the little-known Robyn Adair to the ever-popular Michelle Williams, author Brian D'Ambrosio marks Big Sky Country's long-standing connections with America's performing arts
