He was born Robert Ozell Mosely in Pumpkin Center 
California. He attended Bakersfield Junior College
for two years and then worked briefly as a
telephone lineman before joining the United States
Coast Guard in 1942. In 1944, while visiting
Hollywood on leave from the Coast Guard, his
boyish good looks were spotted by a talent scout
from David O. Selznick's office and he was
immediately cast in a bit part in Selznick's Since
You Went Away. Following the film's release in
1944, the studio  received thousands of letters
from fans wanting to know more about him.

He was signed by RKO Pictures in 1946 and began
appearing in romantic comedies and dramas but his
wooden acting style hurt his chances of advancing
in films. In 1951, television came to the rescue
of his fleeting career when he was cast in The
Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok, which ran for six
years. 

Following his television series, he appeared in
several more films, mostly westerns, before
leaving for Europe, where he found greater success
in spaghetti westerns.

He was married to actresses Gail Russell
(1949-1954) and Sheilia Connolly (1961-1963). Both
marriages ended in divorce. He has four children -
three daughters and one son.

Guy Madison died in 1996 and was buried in the
Palm Springs Mortuary & Mausoleum in Palm Springs,
California.
