1. "Ann Blyth" Marker

Inscription. Not known for her western roles, Ann Blyth was eventually cast by Universal Studios in "Red Canyon" with husband Howard Duff and George Brent as her leading men. George Sherman, an old pro at directing westerns was in charge and "Red Canyon" is a slam bang adventure and Ann Blyth more than holds her own. The film is well worth your time!!

Erected by Kane County Office of Tourism and Kanab Utah’s "Walk of Fame".
