Biography

Sammy Baugh, a football player turned actor, was born in Texas in 1914 to a father employed by the Santa Fe Railroad, which caused the family to move frequently. Sammy attended Texas Christian University on a baseball scholarship but also played football and basketball during college. While he is best known for his football talent, his nickname "Slinging Sammy" originated at TCU due to his baseball abilities. After graduating in 1937, Sammy joined the NFL's Washington Redskins. The following year, he played minor-league baseball with the St. Louis Cardinals farm team but remained with the Redskins.

Given his athletic build and good looks, it was no surprise that Hollywood took notice. In 1941, Republic Pictures offered him a role in a serial. He accepted and starred in King of the Texas Rangers (1941), directed by serial experts John English and William Witney. The cast featured serial veterans like Roy Barcroft, Duncan Renaldo, Stanley Blystone, and Bud Geary, supported by Republic's top stunt team, including Tom Steele and David Sharpe. Many western and serial fans regard this serial as one of Republic's finest.

The film was a major hit, and Republic wanted Sammy to continue acting. However, despite enjoying the experience, he was not deeply interested in acting and declined further offers, choosing to return to football.

Sammy retired from professional football in 1952 after 16 seasons with the Redskins. He was inducted into the Professional Football Hall of Fame in 1963. Although he never played football again, he coached college and professional teams until retiring from the sport in 1968.
