Answer this Oklahoma trivia question to receive awesome prizes!

Test your Oklahoma knowledge and win prizes by answering our weekly Tuesday Trivia question. Every week, we’ll choose a winner from the correct respondents to receive a prize—from an Okie sticker to a subscription to Oklahoma Today and more.

The editors of Oklahoma Today can tell you that a journalist's career arc can get awfully loopy. But even we must tip our hats to the amazing trajectory of a man featured in our May/June 2021 issue story, "The Good, The Bad, and The Legendary." He was an attorney and then a train robber who was sentenced to life in prison, before becoming a movie star. Oh, and he ran for both the offices of Governor and Oklahoma County Attorney, but lost both, retiring to California where he worked on Westerns. His story must have gotten around, because in 1951, his biography became a movie.

Who was this attorney-turned-outlaw-turned-movie star?
