In this momentous election year, cowboy customs and presidential politics converge at the Autry National Center. The Autry is pleased to exhibit Cowboys and Presidents, a look at the ways in which the symbol of the cowboy has been used to promote, criticize, and have fun with American presidents from Theodore Roosevelt to George W. Bush.

New Information on DVD Pirates
Posted April 8, 2008

Gene Autry Entertainment recently learned that some of the DVD pirates behind the bootleg release of The Gene Autry Show have been arrested by none other than the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. We think it is quite ironic that America's Favorite Signing Cowboy made a movie in 1951 titled Gene Autry and the Mounties and today the RCMP is riding to his rescue!

Gene Autry's Friends Fan Club
Posted April 4, 2008

Many of you who are members of the Gene Autry's Friends Fan Club know that the Fan Club traditionally issues two journals a year. Currently, there are no scheduled printed journals for 2008, however Gene Autry Entertainment will mail fan club information letters twice a year.

Gene Autry DVDs for 2008
Posted April 1, 2008

Gene Autry was the star of 89 feature films and Gene Autry Entertainment has plans to release each and every one of them on DVD. At this time we are currently negotiating a new distribution deal and therefore do not have a schedule of titles. As soon as our deal is worked out we will announce the films for DVD release for this year.

In the meantime, there are 47 of Gene's musical westerns beautifully restored and available on DVD, each loaded with bonus material. Check out the complete list of DVDs here.
