The Heart of Texas Ryan is a 1917 American silent romantic western film starring Tom Mix and Bessie Eyton.
Thomas Edwin Mix was an American film actor and the star of many early Western movies between 1909 and 1935. Mix appeared in 291 films, all but nine of which were silent movies.
In 1929, Mix was a pallbearer at the funeral of Wyatt Earp (during which he reportedly wept).
On October 12,1940, the cowboy-movie star was killed when he lost control of his speeding Cord Phaeton convertible and rolled into a dry wash (now called the Tom Mix Wash) near Florence, Arizona. He was 60 years old. Today, visitors to the site of the accident can see a 2-foot tall iron statue of a riderless horse and a somewhat awkwardly written plaque that reads: In memory of Tom Mix whose spirit left his body on this spot and whose characterization and portrayals in life served to better fix memories of the Old West in the minds of living men.
