A former actor in Western films and his wife have survived a fire that destroyed their Tucson-area home plus decades of Arizona movie history.

Ivan Wolverton says thousands of props, books and artwork were burned in Wednesday morning’s fire along with almost everything he and Margery ever owned.

"We’ve been married 68 years. Took us 80 years to get all of that together," Wolverton said of the items lost in fire that included photo albums of movies worked on by the couple who are now in their early 90s.

He’s also known for working at the Mescal film set and pulling stagecoaches at Old Tucson.

Ivan Wolverton and his wife Margery survived a fire that destroyed their home in Tucson, Arizona. Thousands of film artifacts were destroyed in the blaze. 

Margery Wolverton also worked in Western films during her career.

Wendy Wolverton, the couple’s daughter, said her parents may have not survived if it weren’t for a neighbor knocking on the door of their home in the small town of Three Points and alerting them.
