Early Life and Education
Robert Ivers, better known as Bob Ivers, was born on December 11, 1934, in Seattle, Washington.
He also co-starred in 1960 with Elvis Presley in G.I. A memorial tombstone in his honor is located in the Terrace Heights Cemetery in Yakima, Washington. Ivers was disappointed that his acting career stalled by the middle 1960s and told the Yakima Herald-Republic in 1978 that he would have enjoyed the excitement of the Hollywood scene and often contemplated what might have been.
In 1965, he launched a career in television news at KPHO in Phoenix, Arizona, followed by WJIM in Lansing, Michigan, and then (in 1970) KTHI-TV in Fargo, North Dakota.
He guest starred too on episodes of The Virginian, Bat Masterson, The Untouchables, and Gunsmoke.
After leaving KAPP, Ivers had a stint as newscaster at competing Yakima station KNDO. He eventually returned to his hometown in Washington, where he continued his television career in the Yakima Valley. They had two daughters, Alenda and Mallory. Prior to his death Ivers had been romantically involved with Patsy Peterson until her death. In 1957 he also starred in Short Cut to Hell, the only film directed by James Cagney.
The timing of the program coincided with the 1960 centennial of the Pony Express.
