There is some speculation as to where Pat Buttram spent his formative years. I am from a small town in Alabama called Altoona, and many people around this area that i have spoken to, believe that at least some part of his life was spent in this little town. I have no hard facts as of yet, but i've even heard some people go as far to show me where he once "lived" here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wxmatt82 (talkcontribs) 05:17, 29 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Pat Buttram served his country during WWII. I remember seeing footage of WWII and a solder was explaining what had occured in combat. That solder was Pat Buttram. If I remember correctly he was a member of a Tank unit fighting in the European theater of operations, but since my memory is going back over 50 years I can't be 100% sure. However he was in the war and that was him giving an explanation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.155.110.74 (talk) 18:53, 1 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

I understand that Buttram was "discovered" during the Chicago World's Fair Century of Progress when a WLS reporter was interviewing people at the fair. When Buttram was chosen to interview, his distinctive voice wowed the people at WLS who decided to give him a job. -Judy, Source: THE WLS NATIONAL BARN DANCE (wlshistory.com) 66.188.59.227 (talk) 01:34, 27 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Pat Buttram often appeared as a guest on Robert W. Morgan's morning drive-time show on KMPC (710 kHz), Los Angeles, in the late 80s-early 90s. The station was owned by Buttram's dear friend, Gene Autry. The appearances were comic and fairly frequent. Sometimes a short monologue was performed, sometimes Morgan acted the straight-man to Buttram's comic retorts, and other times he was as he was in the movies: a good and trusted friend. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.121.16.240 (talk) 19:43, 9 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Other television work

edit

Pat appeared on Saturday morning broadcasts of Gene Autry movies on CMT (Country Music Television) for several years in the 1980s(?). He and Autry appeared on a set sitting on rockers on a simulated ranch porch. They would reminisce about film making and recall events during the making of the film being shown that day. They talked before the movie, during a break between "reels" and at the end. I was never much of an Autry fan, but I found this chat very enjoyable and it gave me a new view of Autry's film days. Buttram, as always, was very funny. David (talk) 23:33, 2 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

His genealogical history.

edit

I added years of his parent and his siblings names and dates of birth and death and it was removed. There are many pages with same kind of information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Miloradovan (talkcontribs) 16:37, 24 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Please read this page for an explanation of why the material was removed, and this one for an explanation of why other articles having similar material is not relevant. Thanks, BMK (talk) 19:09, 24 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Photo of Pat Buttram?

edit

Does this photo depict Pat Buttram? I think it might, but there are a number of people in the advertisement from which it is cropped, and they aren't individually labeled. Thanks, Calliopejen1 (talk) 16:53, 23 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • No, it's not Buttram. Neither is the photo "free", since you extracted it from a copyrighted book. I've nominated it for deletion at Commons and removed it from this page, since non-free images cannot be used except in articles with the proper rationale. BMK (talk) 18:53, 23 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
