2001 Walk of Western Stars - Jo Anne Darcy
Downtown Newhall, California

[Walk Index][Linda Gray][Herb Jeffries][Wilford Brimley][Jo Anne Darcy]

Santa Clarita City Councilwoman Jo Anne Darcy reacts to the unveiling of her plaque (March 30, 2001) along the Downtown Newhall Walk of Western Stars, on the east side of San Fernando Road near 6th Street, outside the Canyon Theatre Guild. At left is Darcy's friend Don Robinson; at right is fellow City Council member Robert Kellar.

Inductees in 2001 included actors Linda Gray of "Dallas" fame (and a Sand Canyon resident), Herb Jeffries (the first African American to have a starring role in Western films in the 1930s) and Wilford Brimley (who appeared in Western films well before creating a new identity in "Cocoon") — and City Councilwoman Jo Anne Darcy who, with the late Milt Diamond (longtime leader of the former Downtown Newhall Merchants Association), founded the event 20 years earlier.
