Good grief!

Any of you guys ever hear of Gary Cooper? The real deal, worked as a cowboy in Montana, where he grew up (his daddy was a judge). Went to Hollywood and got discovered.

The Hanging Tree
High Noon (a wretched film, regardless what the "critics" claim)
Northwest Mounted Police
Garden of Evil
Vera Cruz
The Westerner
Man of the West
The Virginian
Springfield Rifle

He was pretty good.
 
Must be a lot of seniors on the high road to remember John Wayne. He died June 11, 1979.

Gary Cooper was the best of all, but died May 13, 1961 at age 60

I've never actually met Clint Eastwood. He gets points for his libertarian approach to things.

cyclopsshooter, ever meet the man?

Marion "John" Wayne wasn't a cowboy, but he wasn't a poseur, either. He got real points for driving carpool to my elementary school in an old blue station wagon, when a lot of the other parents shoved too many kids into sports cars just to show off.
