I remembered Ward Bond doing a Wagon Train commercial for kids to enter a contest to win a Palomino horse! ‘Be the envy of every boy in your neighborhood’, was part of the promo. Then all the interest that was generated on who would replace Ward Bond when he passed away. Then we see John McIntire take over, who I remembered as the no nonsense police commissioner in The Adphalt Jungle with that memorable switch board scene briefing reporters on who would answer those calls when a threatened citizen calls for help.

Alan Ladd in so many leading role actor, but my favorite The Proud Rebel w/his son David first together as acting, first role for David. Charles Bronson, Barbara Stanwyck… oh so many. Loved the comic books story. I first had introduction to the comic books in early ‘60’s when I “soda jerk” for my Aunt’s shop, she had a stack of fronts taken off that were “library loans”, what a delightful summer it was working, and my free time. Yes, it was a reading enrichment. Audrey was a wonderful character actor in so many roles. Always enjoyed wherever she showed up. Thanks so much Rob, you’re a master of interviewing!! 🤠

    Very charming interview with AUDREY DALTON...
    Rob, I produced a documentary on DELMER DAVES and tried to get the city of Sedona and their arts council to pay tribute to him with a film festival... after all, Delmer really introduced the majestic Red Rocks and beautiful scenery to the world in the same way that John Ford did with Monument Valley.
    Unfortunately, the city council couldn't care a less about Delmer or any HOLLYWOOD movies that brought in all the tourist dollars that they profit from.
    But as Rob said, Delmer Dave was a fascinating writer/director/producer who never got the credit and attention he so richly deserved.
    As Audrey commented Sedona looks totally different today from when she first knew it... if any place needed to become a national park to spare it from being way over-developed its Sedona!

    Of course, as a world-renowned Titanic historian with two books to my name, a NG documentary and BBC radio presentation as "Molly Brown" I was thrilled to see this interview with Audrey Dalton. What you may not know is that a real Titanic survivor, Renee Harris, discovered Barbara Stanwyck and renamed her from Ruby Stevens. She also discovered Mort Sahl (A Star is Born). Another real Titanic survivor, Lucy, Lady Duff-Gordon, was an influential fashion designer who dressed many stars of silent films, and early talkies, and very good friends with Clifton Webb.

    Ladd at that time was 40 yuears old and becoming wealthy through good investments in real estate and other things. He was one of the richest actors in Hollywood when he died.

    Like Glenn Ford and Jimmy Stewart, Charles Bronson in his westerns both on tv and in film seemed to favor a hat that suited him particularly well. Flat on top, tight curl at the sides, you saw that hat, you knew Bronson was under it. Whereas John Wayne might favor a style for several films, for example his choice in the Ford Cavalry trilogy, then Hondo, Rio Bravo and even the non western Legend of the Lost. Then, with that hat no longer suiting him as his frame grew larger and he grew older, moving on quite logically to a bigger hat. All of them good choices and suiting him perfectly through the maturing stages of his career.
    Whereas Eastwood ( a guy who understood as well as anyone the hat's importance as that one piece of apparel most crucial for an actor in any western that would define his character and so was absolutely critical to get right), other than on Rawhide changed styles often, but was canny enough to never pick a bad one.
    That can't be said for Alan Ladd here however. A thing that's apparent in his appearance at the beginning of this episode. That hat is too small, too clean, and too1950s trilby lookin' to work for him. No idea if it was his choice or someone else's, but it just ain't workin' which meant he had to do some really powerful acting to overcome that look his headgear gave him, when a better choice in hats coulda said more about his character than reams and reams of dialog.
