    Mr. Skinner, thank you for honoring our Dad with your wonderful documentary! It was very well done. He was a very diverse actor and although many remember him as a western actor, he actually had a long and varied career. He was a wonderful dad and loved his kids very much. We miss him! Again, thank you! Lorri

    Jerry thank you for the documentary. I had the opportunity to meet Rory when my father hired him for a NC promotion. I remember how down to earth he was and the impression he made on me. I was in my mid teens and have never forgotten that experience. I'm sure the folks in our small NC town have not forgotten the day Rory Calhoun came to town.

    As a child, I always got excited when I saw the name Rory Calhoun on the movie billboard. You would know that it was going to be a good movie. Back then, in the small town where I grew up, movies were much cheaper, about $.50 in the mid-1950s. Even so, $.50 was much harder to come by.

    When I was a teenager I fell in love with this man, I thought he was the best looking man I ever laid eyes on, outside of my dad of course in fact they looked very much alike except my dad had steely blue eyes with dark hair, he even leaned his head over to one side slightly like Mr. Rory. They don’t make them like my dad and Mr. Rory anymore. I enjoyed this very much, brought back many good memories. 🥰

    played in. I have several of R.C.s westerns in my rather large western movie collection.
    Thank you Rory Calhoun for appearing and starring in so many great westerns through the years.......

      Perhaps like real horse folk? It seems like most hold them like they are trying to pull back the horse's head. A horse trainer we knew trained the horses to neck rein - the only way to hold the reins would be high since the horse responded to pressure on the neck (and light pressure at that).

This took place at a store called Gibson’s Discount Center. He was a very good cowboy actor. Just watched him the other day on an episode of Gunsmoke.

    Mr Skinner, you have created the only Hollywood related UA-cam channel worth watching. Class all the way.
    By the way, you sound just like the wonderful actor and true cowboy, Richard Farnsworth.
    Thank you🌹

      Rory and Dale would often get mistaken for one another and asked for an autograph. They'd each obligingly sign the other's name. :-D

    I always enjoyed him growing up in the 50s. After being surprised seeing him in Motel Hell I was glad to see him still alive and really enjoyed him in that role.

    Jerry did a great job on this but failed to mention that Rory also stared in a automobile racing movie called "thunder in carolina" wich was shot mainly around darlington speedway in darlington s.c. It was depicted in the year 1957. Great racing movie at the time. Wish I could see it again.

    Wow! I always loved watching Rory. He even grew up in Santa Cruz like me! And he was my fathers age, but we liked the same music! This was great! TY 👍

    growing up in ireland in 1950s my brothers and I always loved the western movies the real ones before
    The spaghetti rubbish that came later and ruined the westerns movies our favourites were Randolph Scott🌟
    Joel Mcrea🌟 Audie Murphy 🌟Alan Ladd 🌟 Gary Cooper 🌟 and the wonderful RoryCalhoun 🌟 his movies were
    Always different with great stories and the acting was top notch ' Rory was believable the good guy who would win in the end ' If you watch any of Rorys movies they still stand the test of time 🕰 we never got his fab TV series the Texan
    So it's so good to watch now on UA-cam and its really well made the stories are excellent ' tv is so bad in every
    Country in 2021 its a series like the Texan that people would enjoy more to view '

    I truly enjoy your videos Mr. Skinner. If I may I’d like to offer a suggestion for a video. Chuck Connors the actor would be a great person to do. His life includes not only acting but two professional sports (NBA and MLB). Thank you again for your videos.

    The Texan was one of my favorite westerns. Also loved him in River Of No Return. He was very good at playing the bad guy as well as the hero.
