DISCOVERING OUR VALLEY 2011
Cactus Mack, who was born Taylor McPeters, was one of the most successful actors in San Fernando Valley history. His filmography is truly impressive. Mostly featured in Westerns, or Cowboy Movies, Cactus Mack lived in North Hollywood throughout his working career. His son in law, Porky Johnson, now 86 years old, has been sharing his father's history with The Museum. This head-shot as President Abraham Lincoln gave Cactus Mack the proudest moment of his film career.
