Sandy Sanders

Born: 1919-05-23

Veteran stuntman, actor, and horse trainer Sandy Sanders was born on May 23, 1919, in Hereford, Texas. Sanders grew up all over the country. Following service in the U.S. Army during World War II, Sandy went on to put together a horse act. Sanders ran across a film crew while working in Kansas and decided to try his luck in Hollywood, California after a producer suggested that idea to him. Sandy was hired as Gene Autry's stunt double at Columbia soon thereafter. Sanders performed stunts and acted in many movies and television shows in a career that spanned four decades. Moreover, Sandy was also a rope and horse trainer, a riding stable owner, and even a riding teacher both during and in between film gigs. Sanders died at age 85 on January 2, 2005, in Santa Maria, California.
