Richard Allen Boone was born on June 18, 1917 in Los Angeles, California in the United States. He passed away on January 10, 1981. He was a well-known American actor.
Richard Boone's career at Stanford came to an end in 1937, when he and his Theta Xi fraternity brothers devised an ingenious prank. Together, the gang of boys fashioned a dummy out of rags and bottles and laid it in the middle of the road. When the next passing car ran over it, Richard Boone cried out, "You killed my brother!" Unfortunately, the car's driver was Mrs. Herbert Hoover, the wife of the former US President. Mrs. Hoover actually sprained her right ankle during all of the confusion of the prank. For this prank, Richard Boone was expelled from Stanford.
Despite being expelled, Richard Boone later became an actor, best known for role as Paladin in the television series 'Have Gun, Will Travel.'
