Description
The Santa Rita as seen in 1947, the year Gene Autry (1907-1998) made "The Last Outpost" at Old Tucson and at San Xavier Mission.
Betty Hutton (1921-2007) stayed at the Santa Rita when she made "Incendiary Blonde" (1945) in Tucson. She lost a diamond ring in a drain at the hotel, but it was recovered after she had left town.
Also in 1945 the fable is woven that Gregory Peck (1916-2003) rode his horse into the lobby when cast and crew of David O. Selznick's (1902-1965) "Duel in the Sun" (1946) made the hotel their headquarters.
