A Humble Upbringing
Roy and Dale somehow suspected their children would grow up to become spoiled and depended on the spotlight to determine who they were, so they decided to go for a humble lifestyle. They decided to grow their children on a ranch around the likes of pigs, horses, and chicken.
Being famous meant the camera would always be on their family, and that was what Rogers and his wife were trying to avoid. However, even though they were extra careful, one of their sons, Dusty, still managed to land movie roles before he finished high school.

The road to success for Rogers in the Western genre was never by character but more from his hard work, dedication, longsuffering, and more. Rogers saw his career being the most active between 1935 to 1951 and would appear in at least two films per year for that period.
On some occasions, Rogers would see himself in most eight films for a given year – star role that is! However, as time went by and his family started growing, Rogers decided it was best to slow it down so he could be around his family and help develop them.
