Chandler, Jeff (1918-61)
 Actor. Chandler made a number
of non-Westerns during his Hollywood career yet he is likely to remain closely
identified with the genre in a quite specific way. His role as Cochise, the
Apache chief in Broken Arrow, created a striking impression and he was
to repeat it in The Battle at Apache Pass and in Taza, Son of Cochise.
He played other Western char?acters, lawmen and cavalrymen for example, but
it is as the famous Indian chief that his place in the history of the genre is guaranteed.
