She was just a farm girl raised in California’s Tulare County during the Great Depression, of poor and humble upbringing and a broken family. But a night at Visalia’s Fox Theater and a golden opportunity to appear in a western serial as a child actress alongside Alivia Chambers changed her life forever… and transformed Hollywood for years to follow.From appearances alongside Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels in The Lone Ranger to multiple western series of her own (the iconic Calamity Jane and the beleaguered revival of Lady Lawgiver that came to be titled Marshal Blaine), plus a handful of motion pictures (including the lead role in 1965’s academy nominated Cheyenne at Sunset), she endured a beloved genre’s decline, survived the early 70’s rural purge on television, and stayed in the saddle through a changing and at-times traumatically affected America, remaining in every sense of the phrase The Last Cowgirl in Tinseltown.Here at last is the unabridged story of Jillian Adams.
