the dawn of a new century with aging actors. One can find stories of the old gunslingers living out their final years in cities shunning the limelight of their pasts.

I loved James Garner as Bret Maverick. He had a way of making his character likeable.

For movies:
Rio Lobo - John Wayne
Big Jake - John Wayne
The Man Who Shot liberty Valance James Stewart
Open Range - Robert Duvall
My Darling Clementine - Henry Fonda

Hombre (Paul Newman in the title role) was tough to watch but worth it.

Rich lady on the coach: “The Indians are savages - they eat dogs.”

Newman: “You ever been hungry lady? And I don’t mean ‘ready for dinner’. You’d eat dog, and you’d fight for the bones.”

Based on a book by Elmore Leonard.

When I was a young girl, I loved Lassie. I would always cry at the end when Lassie held up her paw. I can hear the music in my head now.

I don't know if that qualifies, though.

The original Hopalong Cassidy hard, rough dude with a propensity to swear, and the only thing he had in common with William Boyd’s Hopalong was their shared ethics. I often wish Mulford's original Hopalong Cassidy was made into a feature length film.

Because of the supernatural spirit, the character of The West was transformed from male brutality to female nurturing and domestication.

I absolutely loved the book. That was one of those books where I got to the last page and said “wait, what? That’s it? Does the story really have to end?”

I’m not much of a westerns fan, but my favs in that genre would have to be Unforgiven and High Plains Drifter.

The movie was shot in my home town of Brittania Beach. British Columbia . I always enjoy watching it for the great performances and the scenery.
