Cholla Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 After seeing Alpo's recent post and the recent death of James Drury, I am wondering just who is left of the silver screen greats. I was originally thinking of just those that traditionally played in westerns up until the 1970s but that would exclude Lonesome Dove, Silverado, Tombstone, and the multitude of westerns that Sam Elliot and Tom Selleck have starred in. How about a list of stars that were in multiple westerns and are still alive: Bruce Dern Tom Selleck Sam Elliot Kevin Costner Kurt Russell Clint Eastwood Henry Darrow Buck Taylor And with it, stars that did one or two roles that so impacted us that they will forever be considered a western star. Val Kilmer Robert Duvall Who else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great actor of the 40's, 50's and 60's; once played Billy the Kid, and starred in many other Westerns. Died in 1969. Robert Taylor the younger is an Australian who stars in the current Longmire series. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Maybe not a "hero" in the masculine sense, but Olivia De Havilland was in a couple of westerns: They Died With Their Boots On, Dodge City, Santa Fe Trail and The Proud Rebel.

And as Maid Marion in "Robin Hood" she rode the horse that would come to be known as Trigger. Olivia De Havilland on Trigger is about as pretty as pretty gets.

doc roy l. pain Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I would like to see more westerns with Thomas Haden Church. He was Robert Duvall’s partner in Broken Trail. Thought he dressed and fit the part well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I just wish that Scott Eastwood could act. He sorta looks and talks like his dad but if a director told him that limping was part of the scene.....he'd have to shoot him in the foot.....twice.

He had a small part in Tombstone. I won't say which. You'll have to rewatch it to see for yourself. (Oh darn... gotta watch Tombstone again. Lol.)
