Back cover of Bantam 1518 (August, 1956), with Marilyn Monroe and Don Murray in “Bus Stop.”

Cherie and the Cowboy

Cherie was a chanteuse. She said, “I call m’self Cherie. Thass all the name ya need – like Hidegarde, I won a amateur contest down in Joplin, Missouri, and that got me a job in a night club in Kanz City. But working in a night club ain’t all roses . . .”

Bo Decker had his picture taken by Life magazine because ha was a champion professional rodeo rider. Bo had heard about women only he’d hardly ever seen one. Bo was a large, beautiful hunk of man – but green as new grass when it came to Cherie.

Bo and Cherie got together when they were stranded at a bus stop one night.

Their story is one of high humor – a mixture of brag, heartache, bluster, and the funniest tough love affair ever put on stage, screen or between the covers of a book. It is filled with comedy, compassion and tenderness –
