Kim Winona - Biography
Kim Winona (October 10, 1930 – June 23, 1978) was a Native American actress. A Sioux Native American, Winona appeared with Keith Larsen in the CBS western television series Brave Eagle during 1955-1956 season.
In 1951, Winona married Harvey Buck, whom she married within a year. Soon after her marriage they moved to Los Angeles. Harvey was a printer by trade and established his own business. Kim took a secretarial job in the office of a commercial artist. The firm in which she was employed had many artists and photographers, many of whom noticed Kim and her unusual natural beauty. Soon after, Kim was supplementing her income as a model. A talent scout spotted one of her pictures, interviewed her, and shortly had a screen test for a role in "The Last Hunt". She lost the part to a better known actress but was soon named "Miss Apache", and toured the U.S. to promote the film.
She was 25 years old when she landed the role of Morning Star, the romantic interest of Larsen's title role of Brave Eagle on Brave Eagle. A Roy Rogers production, Brave Eagle was the first series to present events from the view of the Native Indian protagonists.
Winona gave birth to two daughters, Migan in 1962 and Michelle in 1973. She died in June 1978 at the age of 47, reportedly at her own hand.
