First time I have seen this and it's absolutely fantastic to see Clayton Moore getting the recognition he truly deserves.How could anyone deny him the right to call himself the Lone Ranger--there is no other and there will be no other.He was idolised the world over and especially here in Britain.Even my mate Dave Lucas got a "Lone Ranger" suit for his birthday.Fabulous,fabulous!!
Clayron Moore was a GREAT man. I interviewed him at his home. Years later, he was present in Oklahoma City when I won a Wrangler Award from the Cowboy Hall of Fame for writing. He had won a Wrangler years before. I could receive no greater honor than to be linked to him.
Clayton Moore is the only person on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to have his name AND character on his star. I doubt anyone else will ever be honored so greatly. There's only one Lone Ranger, Clayton Moore.
TheTreasureHouse I didn’t know that. Thanks. I searched the net and I couldn’t find a picture of Bob Keesan’s star. The only one I could find with the actor’s name and character was Clayton Moore/The Lone Ranger. Both men were outstanding people who gave a lot to this world. We need more people like them today. (9-5-20)
It was wonderful to see Clayton Moore finally honored for his terrific portrayal of The Lone Ranger with his own star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. Moore took his role seriously and unlike George Reeves who disliked playing Superman, Moore was always proud of his character and what it represented. I watched The Lone Ranger as a young boy and will never forget him. Thanks for the posting.
A fine actor and a truly great man. He knew exactly his obligations to his fanbase and the combination of quiet dignity so lacking in the young these days. RIP Clayton - no one has earned the right to do so more than you.
When our son was about five, Clayton Moore was making an appearance at a local mall. I knew it wouldn't be quite the same for him as it would be for me, but we took him anyway. I'd watched him on television as a child and later introduced his films as a television host on a local station in Illinois. He was old Hollywood all the way...good showman!
he appeared at the grand opening of Wicke's Emporium in West Sacramento in the 1980s. There were thousands of kids and adults who waited for hours to see him, the adults were even more excited than the kids. They had to call out more police as he was absolutely mobbed and stayed 3 hours and was only supposed to stay for 1. He's not forgotten in our hearts nor is the great Jay Silverheels.
One and done they broke thw mold with Clayton and as the times have changed he never did nor will the lasting memories of a kid growing up on the lower east side of a land and time so far away brought to life every sat afternoonl. God bless you Clayton Moore.
Clayton Moore won't be forgotten as he will always be the Lone Ranger to thousands of us who watched the show. Doesn't matter if he has to wear sunglasses because the "owners" of his mask won't permit him to wear it. because of their copyright laws
Some may see him as a lame hero of yesterday, but that hero paved the way for other heros to be created. Much respect to all heroes including Clay and Jay. I bought the entire series box set 5 yrs ago b4 the Disney film was even thought of. Gorgeous set I might ad. Im currently watching it which led me to come check out some u tube vids. Like many, this was one of the earliest Saturday morning shows I recall jumping outta bed for in the early 80s; yes, I said the 80s. That's how long they both went from the 50s inspiring generations of kids. I hope he's inspiring somewhere at this very moment. Hi Ho Silver!!!
There were other Lone Ranger actors but Clayton will forever be the one who I grew up with and admired - I watched him on the "radio" than on TV with his faithful Indian companion Tonto (Jay Silverheels) and of course his trusty horse Siver. Those were better times, kinder in so many ways. So "gettem up Scott" & a hardy "Hi YO Silver"....away....
an adoption agency would not let Clayton Moore adopt a boy because they said no boy could live up to the expectations of the Lone Ranger. I mark that time as the begining of the end for this country.
Best ever...love the show loved the man behind the mask... the show wouldn't have been the same without Tonto Jay Silverheels the best duo ever! Hi yo Silver away God bless these two men..
1musiclvr Hey, I know this is 6 years later, but I just wanted to point out it wasn't Disney that stopped him from wearing the mask. It was because of the 1981 movie version (Trainwreck!} that the lawsuit was made.
Clayton Moore for me was the lone ranger when I was growing up they took his mask and made a bad movie in 79 I still watch it today on tv and DVD in 1987 they still would not let him wore it at the ceremony he's still the lone ranger
Wow. :) This man is the reason why I am flat out broke at the moment! I'm actually sad enough to have invested 'for the future' in Lone Ranger DVDs, but the buck stops in the 50s for me. Disney may have ripped Clay of his mask, but they will NEVER remake a Lone Ranger as great as this man!
I read that is the only star on the walk of fame with two names on it. I think that's fitting since Clayton Moore WAS the Lone Ranger. He lived his life in everything the Lone Ranger stood for.
I was hoping someone would correct misinformation posted. Disney only in '09 got the rights to do a LR movie. The Jack Wrather Corporation, at the time of the Hollywood Star, did not allow Clayton Moore to wear a mask during their movie with Klinton Spillsbury. I saw Clayton Moore at an opening for a store years ago. After the movie did poor box office, Clayton said wearing the mask was restored "like a man throwing his dog a bone". He had more dignity than that to accept it as an after thought.
You can still get to Lone Ranger Rock, where the daring and resourceful masked rider of the plains would rear up on the thundering hoofs of the great horse SILLVERR!!!
Small correction for the person who posted this. You mentioned the wrong company. It was not Disney. It was Wrather Corp. was responsible for the court order to prevent Clayton Moore from wearing the mask for a few years. (They eventually gave it back to him.)
Read some more comments and someone said the disney info was incorrect. My apologies. I still don't think they will produce a piece true to Lone Ranger values.
I hope disney knows Clayton Moore didn't need the mask. He was and is The Lone Ranger! '' No mask needed '' I my self will never watch a disney lone ranger wanabe movie. Let all true Lone Ranger / Clayton Moore fans pledge NOT TO starting here.
I loved Clayton Moore. Watched him as a kid in the 70's. But as I grew up. So did my Lone Ranger. Armie Hammer is my Lone Ranger. Kemosabe means wrong brother
Thanks for clearing up the Sunglasses Did not know that. As far as Clayton shooting anyone as the Lone Ranger on screen I hate to disappoint anyone BUT YES HE DID!! The movie LONE RANGER 1956 he shoots and kills??? a bad guy on a hill. You can look it up by typing LONE RANGER MOVIE 1956 IDMB to see I am not wrong it is however the one and only time he did..But you will see he did. Thanks for your info and take care Lone Ranger always
Clay said he never shot anyone as The Lone Ranger... Not true! In the movie LONE RANGER he does shoot a man right in the chest and fights a Indian almost to the death. It is my fav. Lone Ranger movie. Why does he have to wear sunglasses still? That was 1987 and that 1981 CRAPFEST of a movie was long gone???
Hearing that Disney owns the rights to The Lone Ranger, that they denied Clayton More the ability to wear the mask is discusting. Boycott Disney! Honor the teaching of the Lone Ranger!
No matter what Disney and/or the courts say, Clayton Moore will always be the real Lone Ranger to his fans.
A true role model! Clayton Moore WAS The Lone Ranger. He didn't just follow The Lone Ranger creed on set, he lived it!

Actually, you are incorrect. Bob Keeshan ALSO has his character's name, Captain Kangaroo, on his star.
TheTreasureHouse I didn’t know that. Thanks. I searched the net and I couldn’t find a picture of Bob Keesan’s star. The only one I could find with the actor’s name and character was Clayton Moore/The Lone Ranger. Both men were outstanding people who gave a lot to this world. We need more people like them today.

He will never be forgotten in our hearts and memories. Neither will Jay Silverheels.

Hi Yo Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels....forever champions for morality and truth. Surely missed, but never forgotten.
Thanks Kemosabe
he appeared at the grand opening of Wicke's Emporium in West Sacramento in the 1980s.

A true TV hero. Clayton Moore . . . . our true Lone Ranger.
Clayton Moore AND the Lone Ranger will ALWAYS be my heros! What a great man! I'm glad I had the good fortune to meet him!
One and done they broke thw mold with Clayton and as the times have changed he never did nor will the lasting memories of a kid growing up on the lower east side of a land and time so far away brought to life every sat afternoonl.
God bless you Clayton Moore.
I wrote to the Lone Ranger years ago and he was kind enough to actually write back and talk about visiting Loon Lake, here in Ontario Canada .
Clayton Moore will always be the Lone Ranger to me.
HE IS MY LIFETIME HERO!
Handsome Man on a Beautiful Horse.
A teacher of morals and fine living.
I still Love Clayton Moore.
He was a Great Actor and also a Legend. Almost Everyone in this world and Big Kids knew him.
Clayton Moore won't be forgotten as he will always be the Lone Ranger to thousands of us who watched the show. Doesn't matter if he has to wear sunglasses because the "owners" of his mask won't permit him to wear it. because of their copyright laws

His is the only Walk of Fame star to list the actor and the role. Clayton IS the Lone Ranger.
Well deserved indeed! There have been a few imitators over the years but there will always be only one Lone Ranger!
Tremendous character, humility, and grace-always!!!
There'll never Be another Lone Ranger like Clayton Moore, HI O' SILVER, AWAY!!!!!!!!!!😊
an adoption agency would not let Clayton Moore adopt a boy because they said no boy could live up to the expectations of the Lone Ranger. I mark that time as the begining of the end for this country.
Best ever...love the show loved the man behind the mask... the show wouldn't have been the same without Tonto Jay Silverheels the best duo ever! Hi yo Silver away God bless these two men..
My favorite childhood tv show
Heaven is for Heroes, R.I.P.
That was just plain ROTTEN of the Disney studios preventing Clayton Moore from appearing in public with his trademark mask.
1musiclvr Hey, I know this is 6 years later, but I just wanted to point out it wasn't Disney that stopped him from wearing the mask. It was because of the 1981 movie version (Trainwreck!} that the lawsuit was made.

Clayton was dead by the time their flop came out.
The Wrather Corp took the made away during the making of the 1981 flop.
There will never be another lone ranger.
Clayton moore was & still is the Lone Ranger here on earth & in heaven.
I read that is the only star on the walk of fame with two names on it. I think that's fitting since Clayton Moore WAS the Lone Ranger. He lived his life in everything the Lone Ranger stood for.
john hart played the lone ranger for 2 years and in an episode of happy days but moore will always be the lone ranger
@Earl Dwire You could tell t he difference in their voices.
I was hoping someone would correct misinformation posted. Disney only in '09 got the rights to do a LR movie.

that was fun to watch.
This clip here was good also.
Small correction for the person who posted this. You mentioned the wrong company. It was not Disney. It was Wrather Corp. was responsible for the court order to prevent Clayton Moore from wearing the mask for a few years. (They eventually gave it back to him.)
Amen brother.
well done clayton
Hi Yo silver congrats to the Lone Ranger
Clayton moore was the best.
Read some more comments and someone said the disney info was incorrect. My apologies. I still don't think they will produce a piece true to Lone Ranger values.
I hope disney knows Clayton Moore didn't need the mask. He was and is The Lone Ranger! '' No mask needed ''
I my self will never watch a disney lone ranger wanabe movie. Let all true Lone Ranger / Clayton Moore fans pledge NOT TO starting here.
Is,ii red uh g
Good luck to him
I loved Clayton Moore.
Watched him as a kid in the 70's.
But as I grew up. So did my Lone Ranger.
Armie Hammer is my Lone Ranger.
Kemosabe means wrong brother
Hammer is definitely not in Moore's class .
Thanks for clearing up the Sunglasses Did not know that. As far as Clayton shooting anyone as the Lone Ranger on screen I hate to disappoint anyone BUT YES HE DID!! The movie LONE RANGER 1956 he shoots and kills??? a bad guy on a hill.
You can look it up by typing LONE RANGER MOVIE 1956 IDMB to see I am not wrong it is however the one and only time he did..But you will see he did.
Thanks for your info and take care
Lone Ranger always
clintbronson5 He shot the Dynamite in mid-air and the outlaw lost his balance and fell to his death
Only Clayton Moore was Th e Lone Ranger, not John Har t, the man who replaced him.
Clay said he never shot anyone as The Lone Ranger... Not true! In the movie LONE RANGER
he does shoot a man right in the chest and fights a Indian almost to the death. It is my fav. Lone Ranger movie. Why does he have to wear sunglasses still? That was 1987 and that 1981 CRAPFEST of a movie was long gone???
He should have been president!!!
I can not think of a more qualified person. Hi Yo Silver Away!!!!
I was there as a Photographer shooting this also,,,i see myself in this clip,,,,ha ha,,,
Why couldn't he wear his old uniform ?
Hearing that Disney owns the rights to The Lone Ranger, that they denied Clayton More the ability to wear the mask is discusting. Boycott Disney! Honor the teaching of the Lone Ranger!
It was the Wrather company that took the mask away.
Clayton was dead by the time of that flop was released
how does an actor,artist etc. get his name on the walk of fame?
Gratos recuerdos por este inolvidable personaje de mi infancia y juventud. Recuerdos para Toro, también. Vamos Plata.
This is what happens when an actor does give a rip if they are type cast or not and just own the role .
I remember all that shit they gave him about wearing the mask...How sad...
Down to earth man hi ho silver away
Jay Silverheels (Tonto)got his star before Clayton Moore did
