Overview
Cheyenne Bodie was a big man, a former army scout who went west after the American Civil War and drifted from job to job, here a cowboy, there a lawman, and always a larger-than-life hero. CHEYENNE is an American western television series of 108 black-and-white episodes broadcast on ABC from 1955 to 1963. The show was the first hour-long western, and in fact the first hour-long dramatic series of any kind, with continuing characters, to last more than one season. It was also the first series to be made by a major Hollywood film studio which did not derive from its established film properties, and the first of a long chain of Warner Brothers original series produced by William T. Orr.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1955 TV series "Cheyenne" introduced original characters for its narrative. There are no instances of characters who were previously established as one gender in source material or prior canon being portrayed as a different gender.
The character Cheyenne Bodie was created for this 1955 television series as a mixed-race individual (part Cheyenne, part white).
