This name that I present is that of a pioneer actor in western-style films and the second winner of the Oscar for Best Actor in the history of Hollywood. I'm talking about Warner Baxter, who won the Oscar in 1930, for his performance in the film: “In Old Arizona”, from 1929, in the role of “Cowboy Cisco Kid”. 

The actor has a star on the Los Angeles Walk of Fame, at 6284 Hollywood Boulevard, in the Cinema category.

Warner Baxter, born Warner Leroy Baxter, in Columbus, Ohio, United States, on March 29, 1889, died young, aged 62, in Beverly Hills, California, United States, on May 7, 1951.

Baxter was married twice, the first in a short marital relationship to: Viola V. Caldwell (1890-1939), from 1911 to 1913; and the second and last marriage was to the American theater and silent film actress: Winifred Bryson ( 1892 -1987), from 1918 to 1951, until the date of his death.
