Robert Allen (born Irvine E. Theodore Baehr, March 28, 1906 – October 9, 1998)[1] was an American actor in both feature films and B-movie westerns between 1935 and 1944.

Allen's first notable role was the male lead in Love Me Forever (1935), for which he won a Box Office Award.

After the departure of cowboy star Ken Maynard, Allen was plugged into producer Larry Darmour's formulaic Ranger pictures.

Along with sidekick Wally Wales (played by Hal Taliaferro), he redefined the role, starring in six films for director Spencer Gordon Bennet in that year alone.

[citation needed] Allen died on October 9, 1998, age 92, of complications from cancer in Oyster Bay, New York.
