Larry Mahan, an eight-time rodeo world champion and swashbuckling showman who was once called rodeo's first matinee idol, and who brokered that reputation into side careers as a Hollywood actor, a country singer and a purveyor of must-have cowboy boots, died on May 7 at his home in Valley View, Texas.
