Everything you always wanted to know and then some more and then some more after that about the husky darkly handsome actor who is best remembered for -- quick name a classic George Montgomery movie! betcha can't. Starting out as a stuntman in serials and B-westerns in the 1930s Montgomery had a decent if unspectacular career as a leading man during the 1940s and 1950s subsequently appearing in both movies and TV he starred in his own series "Cimarron City" in 1958/59 while also branching out into directing and writing.

There's also quite a bit on his art collection -- apart from the art he created himself -- including mini-biographies of a number of the artists whose work he collected.
