The Big Picture Perhaps no classic Western television series has brought in more notable guest stars over the years than the eight-season CBS production Rawhide. Known for getting Clint Eastwood his start in the movie business, Rawhide became the sixth longest-running American Western series of its day, following the likes of Gunsmoke, Bonanza, and Wagon Train, to name a few.
Release Date January 9, 1959 Creator Charles Marquis Warren Cast Clint Eastwood , Paul Brinegar , Eric Fleming , Steve Raines Seasons 8 What Is 'Rawhide' About? Of course, to better understand why folks were attracted to Rawhide in the first place, it's important to take a step back and remember what the show was about.
In many ways, Clint Eastwood's career as a Western star and icon wouldn't have happened without Rawhide. His dedication to the craft and willingness to stick with the series in the end only emphasizes the actor's resistance and prepared him for roles in feature Westerns such as A Fistful of Dollars, Pale Rider, and even Unforgiven. But Eastwood isn't the only Hollywood star to make his way to Rawhide, and certainly not the most famous in his day.

Of course, these weren't the stars at the time to appear on Rawhide. Others such as Michael Ansara, Barbara Stanwyck, Iron Eyes Cody, Burgess Meredith, Mickey Rooney, Mercedes McCambridge, and I Dream of Jeanie's very own Barbara Eden all made their mark on the show as well.
