Tim, I am completely stumped. I thought of one name but realized she is still alive and worked with Errol in her second film, not her debut. There was another actress who did debut with Flynn and later became a big character actress and in the 1950’s starred in her own hit television series for 157 episodes but athletic does not decribe her.

Daring Thorpe! Bingo! You are right on the money. Every name I could think of fit only half of the clues given by Tim. Yes trigger starred with Bob Hope and Roy Rogers in Son Of Paleface (1952)!

Absolutely, Ralph! And Bingo indeed, as it’s often reported that Trigger had a Bing Crosby connection, too, in that he was born on a ranch in San Diego said to have a connection to Hope’s Road show partner.
Speaking of Crosby, here’s an alternate version of the Cole Porter classic he did with the Andrew Sisters – this version featuring Trigger, Dale & Roy:

Fantastic, daringthorpe! Going out on a limb really paid off for you – just as it did for Errol’s Merry Men in Trigger’s … I mean Golden Cloud’s … Silver Screen debut as Maid Marion’s closest companion, until Errol came along.
