Roger Herren was a handsome young U.S. actor of brief acclaim in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Blessed with good looks and southern charm, Herren appeared to be headed for stardom. His career peaked and ended with his co-starring performance as Rusty Godowsky in the 1970 film of Gore Vidal's 1968 best-seller Myra Breckinridge (1970), which was a flop and his acting career tapered off.

Amid his brief time in front of the lights and cameras, Herren had something of a roller-coaster personal life which included dating Barbara Thinnes, ex-wife of actor Roy Thinnes. He lived inauspiciously in Santa Barbara, California and could still be found on the beach until his death at the age of 68.
