The online version of the Johnny Crawford Remembrance at the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum is now available to view. All the materials are linked on their festival page.

The Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum’s
Johnny Crawford Tribute and Remembrance Event
In person event: Saturday, July 30, 2022
Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum has announced both an in person and online celebration of Johnny Crawford! A variety of unique experiences include seeing Johnny on the big screen at the Edison Theater, a historic former nickelodeon located in Fremont, CA. The event—part of the Museum’s Broncho Billy & Friends Silent Film Festival—encompasses Johnny’s film, television and music careers. There’s also a special new video interview with Johnny’s siblings, Bobby and Nance Crawford, which includes many never-before-heard tales.
A highlight of the festival features a rare screening of Johnny’s starring role in the Oscar winning short film, The Resurrection of Broncho Billy (1970), in which he also had a strong creative hand. The exclusive festival print was recently digitized from the original 35mm so audiences will see Broncho Billy the same way it looked to moviegoers at time of release. The 35mm print is courtesy of producer John Longenecker.
So, if you missed The Resurrection of Broncho Billy in cinemas during the early 1970s—or want to relive the experience of seeing Johnny in his highly acclaimed role on the big screen—the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum’s event is your chance! While Johnny portrayed silent star William S. Hart in his last film, Bill Tilghman and the Outlaws (2019), his earlier The Resurrection of Broncho Billy is also considered silent film related—inspired by Broncho Billy Anderson, first cowboy western star in the 1910s.
Background: The Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum is well-known internationally for their dedication and preservation of silent films. From 1912-1916, a studio was built in Niles for the western division of the Chicago-based Essanay Studios and was a hub of silent film activity during the 1910s. Both Broncho Billy and Charlie Chaplin made some of their most famous shorts in Niles (now Fremont). The Edison Theater, built as a nickelodeon theater in 1913, is the home of the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum, where they celebrate the history of the studio, the theater and the place where REEL history was made. Additional offerings at Niles Essanay’s 2022 Broncho Billy & Friends Silent Film Festival July 30 and July 31 include Buster Keaton, Diana Serra Cary/Baby Peggy, western shorts and more.
Fans may be aware that Johnny had a lifelong love of the silent film genre, and he would undoubtedly much enjoy this celebration of his career. Everyone is invited to watch a collection of Johnny’s performances and special extras with Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum, whether in person or online, at the Edison Theatre. So mark your calendars now!
In person at the Edison Theater, Fremont – Saturday, July 30th at 12:45 pm
An online edition of this special tribute to Johnny, for those who are unable to attend in person, will also be made available beginning Saturday, August 6th at 12 am.
Information about the event is available here: https://nilesfilmmuseum.org/?tv=4997833899900928

A message from Johnny’s wife:
Hello Everyone –
As you read this today, I am on the road with my family, destination: South Dakota. As I said in my last post, my family feels it’s time for me to be closer to them. At first, I didn’t think I was ready to move, but now that it’s all underway, I am feeling good about it.
I don’t have enough words to thank all the Legacy Team members who have worked so hard, and all of you who helped Johnny in so many ways through the last years of his life. Goodbyes are tough, but please know how thankful I am for your love and support, freely given and overflowing for Johnny and for me. Please do all you can to see that his Legacy goes on.
Much love,
Charlotte

A message from Charlotte, Johnny’s wife:
Hello Everyone!
There has been a lot happening with me over the past month. Actually, a lot has been happening over the past year. Looking at what is best for me for the future, my family has convinced me that moving to South Dakota and starting a new life experience there, with them, is the right thing to do. Since I was born and raised in South Dakota, I will have gone full circle and experienced magnificent people and loves along the way. My good friends have come together to pack me up. My daughter and granddaughter will come to California soon to help, and I will move with them on November 28th. I have definite mixed emotions about this, but I’m being positive.
I am, and will always be, eternally grateful to you all for your loyal love and support for Johnny. He touched so many lives with his talent and personality. I know you will continue to support his legacy. The Archive that is being created at UC Santa Barbara will be cataloged. It’s not a museum, but a resource for research. I am very thankful that this will be in place as a permanent compilation of Johnny’s life achievements, and talents. I hope you will keep tuning in to Facebook and the Website. Tracey and Stacey will (thankfully) keep administering those.
I will post again and let you know how I’m doing in the snow banks of South Dakota! Huge blessings to you all.
Charlotte

On this day, we remember Johnny, six months after his passing. We are excited to announce that The University of California, Santa Barbara has enthusiastically agreed to establish the Johnny Crawford Archive at their facility. They have taken over 60 banker’s boxes of treasures to begin the archiving process. This will be the majority of items, but there is still more in storage that will probably be added as the team continues to go through everything. Johnny’s wife, Charlotte, is determined to preserve as much as possible of the things he valued.
A university archive is typically for research purposes, and the collection is available to researchers by appointment. It’s not the same as a museum. As soon as we have more information specific to the Johnny Crawford Archive, we will share it here.

A message from Charlotte:
Hello Everyone!
I want you to know that I am so pleased and thankful for all the love for Johnny that was present at his Celebration of Life Memorial Event last Sunday. I felt your love coming through too! Tracey and Stacey will be posting the pictures they took on the Website and the Facebook for all to see. There will be a video coming too, but there is some more work to be done on it first.
Although it was a hot day in Santa Clarita, everyone was excited and happy to be there. Brother Bobby spoke and Sister Nance had to talk over a cell phone hookup since she wasn’t feeling well enough to come. Niece Patti spoke as well as a few good friends so all of that will be on the video when we can release it. A montage of Johnny showing all his talents played on a loop and was wonderful. The catered food was a hit, and there was plenty of cold water, beer, wine, and soft drinks. Music! Some of Johnny’s veteran orchestra musicians and some musical friends from years ago jammed to everyone’s complete enjoyment.
I am so grateful for all the help I had getting this super memorial together – Julie and Bob Ream, Harry and Brian, Brett Hampton, Rob Word, Mike Clark, Stacey, and Tracey just to name a few.
I am doing fairly well adjusting to life without Johnny. It is very different. I am going to South Dakota in August to visit my family. Please watch the Facebook and Website as the new CD is coming very soon.

An update from Johnny’s wife, Charlotte McKenna Crawford
Hello Everyone –
I am working diligently with the Legacy Team to get Johnny’s Celebration of Life put together. There is still a COVID restriction situation to overcome. The California Governor is supposed to make an announcement on June 15th as to how many of the restrictions will be lifted.
I am planning to have the celebration on July 11th. Even if the governor lifts the state restrictions, the location is still under the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors decision on how many of the restrictions they will lift. I am hoping for the best in that regard. That said, I am going to have to make it by invitation only. We will have a photographer and videographer there taking pictures and to do filming so that we can post it on the Website, Facebook and YouTube for all to see.
Brother Bobby and our Team Members, Bret Hampton and Stacey Shaffer, are working hard to get the next CDs ready to put up on the website for sale.
I am finding some of the days kind of hard to get through. Your cards, letters, phone calls, texts and flowers are very kind and helpful in keeping my spirits up. Thank you so very much.
Charlotte

A Message from Charlotte McKenna Crawford
Hello, Everyone,
Let me start by saying how touched and grateful I am for the huge and wonderful outpouring of affection for Johnny and for so many offers to help in any way needed. Bless you all.
It was a real blessing for me to be there at his passing. On that day, I noticed by mid-afternoon that his breathing had changed. I contacted the Hospice nurse but by the time he arrived, Johnny was not breathing well and suddenly he just stopped. It was 6:34 p.m. on Thursday, April 29th. It was quiet and simple. I am relieved that he is not battling that dreadful disease any longer.
I am now reflecting on all the memories. Johnny had a magnificent life. He was able to pursue so many of the things that captured his imagination. He loved the Old West (William S. Hart in particular). He was so happy to be able to act in The Rifleman and be around horses and learn to trick rope. He loved the movies and music of the 1920’s and 1930’s, and was so glad to be able to form his own dance orchestra and perform for others who appreciated the era too. We are all thankful that his passions and talents are preserved on film and in music so that we can enjoy them today. All his accomplishments are too numerous to list here.
I will be planning a Celebration of Life gathering as soon as I can make the proper arrangements. I will keep everyone informed. Right now, I am feeling like suddenly my mission in life is gone. I feel certain there are a lot of you who have been in that situation in your lives and understand.
There are so many to thank. Natalie, Laurie, Bobby, Tracey, Johnny’s family, friends, and all of you who have stood by him, encouraged him, and prayed for him. Thank you as well for the financial donations for his care, it made all the difference. You are kind and generous people. Please know how grateful I am.

We are happy to report that our 2-day Celebration and Fundraiser was a success. We raised a good amount for Johnny’s Alzheimer’s care, and we also enjoyed spending time with some of his many friends and fans.

Bobby Crawford’s live Q&A was a highlight, and we premiered several new music videos, with sound by Bret Hampton and editing by either Bret or M. Stacey Shaffer. The finale screening of Bill Tilghman and the Outlaws had a lively discussion between the panelists. Along with donation tickets, the event gave our fundraising Store a big boost. We’re grateful to everyone who helped make the event possible, and we appreciate those who took the time to join us for the celebration. Johnny wasn’t able to be with us, even with the virtual setup, but he was always present in his music and many onscreen performances.

Thanks to You, We Are Blessed
Thank you to all involved for a wonderful evening featuring Johnny Crawford at the West Coast premiere of Bill Tilghman and the Outlaws.
We’re elated to say it was a sold out event and fun was had by one and all. To read all about this special evening: https://www.thedesertway.com/bill-tilghman-and-the-outlaws/
The original invitation read: “Dust off your cowboy boots, strap on your spurs and save the date of September 7, 2019 for a special event.”
Bill Tilghman and The Outlaws had its West Coast Premiere and Pre-National Release Party in Thousand Oaks, California, under the stars. Many thanks to Wyatt and Lisa McCrea for donating and hosting this event at the beautiful Joel McCrea Ranch on their big outdoor screen.
Also, a huge shout out to Wayne Shipley and Dan Searles and all involved in the making of Bill Tilghman for donating ALL the proceeds from this event directly to Johnny Crawford and his wife Charlotte, to help them battle Johnny’s Alzheimer’s, especially with all the expense of needing full time assistance. Johnny and Charlotte thank you from the bottom of their hearts.
Johnny’s buddy and event organizer Darby Hinton was there, and of course the man of the hour, Johnny Crawford. And there were some truly amazing people who showed up for the event. Bruce Boxleitner was the very first to tell Darby, “Sign me up!”
Just some of the cast members from Bill Tilghman and The Outlaws who joined Darby and Johnny at the premiere: Lana Wood, Robert Carradine, Johnny Alonso, Eliza Kelley, and Don Collier—who drove all the way in from Arizona.
