ANAHEIM, Calif. — They shared a stage at Disneyland five days a week for nearly three decades and died within a day of each other. Betty Taylor, who played Slue Foot Sue in Disney’s long-running Golden Horseshoe Revue, passed away Saturday — one day after the death of Wally Boag, who played her character’s sweetheart, Pecos Bill.
The 91-year-old Taylor died at her home in Washington state, Disneyland announced.
Boag, who was 90, died Friday. He was a resident of Santa Monica, Calif.
Boag signed a two-week contract with Walt Disney in 1955. He originated the role of Pecos Bill in the revue, taking the stage three times a day and logging nearly 40,000 performances before retiring in 1982. Most of those shows were alongside Taylor, who joined the revue in 1956. Her run on the show — which closed in 1986 — lasted nearly 45,000 performances.
