  My blog was filled up. I'm too lazy to clean it out. So I started a new one. |
| I watched an old cowboy movie last night. It was new to me, but was made in the 60's, a sequel to The Magnificent Seven. I never knew there was a sequel. Yul Brenner was still the star, but the co-star was Robert Fuller (replacing Steve McQueen in the same role). A different guy, not as endearing, played Chico. These were the only three survivors from the first movie; they found four replacements to make Return of The Magnificent Seven. Once again they go to the same Mexican village, this time without pay, to help against a different group of bad guys. They used the same music, probably some of the best movie themes ever, but they could not recapture the greatness of the original. The Mexican actors weren't as sympathetic. The bad guy was not quite the low life that Eli Wallach was in the original. Although, I loved Steve McQueen as Vint, Robert Fuller was pretty good. And he's eye candy. Scene after scene of his pretty blue eyes and facial features, I started thinking he must be the prettiest cowboy ever. I could name a lot of categories. My all-time favorite cowboy was Charlton Heston, whether he was handsome and dashing, or made to look homely as in Will Penny. The sexiest might be Sam Elliott. The classiest is Gregory Peck, and he might be tied with Sam Elliot. Actually, I had a thing for Darren McGavin, too. When I was a child, my favorite was Roy Rodgers. I have a crush on Clu Gulager that has lasted into his golden years. Chuck Connors falls pretty high on the list. If we're speaking strictly of good looks, Doug McClure makes the list, as does John Smith. If we go with best cowboy voices, I'd have to include Clint Eastwood, Clu Gulager, Tom Selleck, and James Drury. (Drury's voice is still distinctive, but isn't the same as in his movie making days,) When I started thinking about it, I made a list of ugly cowboys, funny cowboys, etc. Which brings me to today's question: Who is your favorite cowboy? Who is the best looking cowboy in your eyes? I would love to hear your response and any other category you have for western actors. I'd have to have Michael Landon, Ricardo Montalbon, and Gary cooper on there somewhere. |
