Legendary Cowboy Actor's

Hello, and a big welcome to Ruthie Manier's Cowboy Kisses Blog. Today I am going to talk about some of my favorite western Heroes. John Wayne in the cardboard picture above with me, at a store my mother and I were checking out, found in Sedro Woolly, Washington is number one on that list. His name at birth was Marion Robert Morrison he was born May twenty-sixth of nineteen hundred and seven. I loved to watch The Duke on the big screen at the drive-in. John was tall and handsome and always played the good guy. He had a way of talking that got everyones attention. My favorite John Wayne movies are McClintock, True Grit, Rio Bravo, Stagecoach and Fort Apache. All of The Dukes movie's were good, but the scene when he chased Maureen O'Hara around town in her under clothes was hysterical! The second in line is Clint Eastwood. He was not the normal good guy, sometimes, especially on his Spaghetti Westerns it was hard to tell which side he was on. He played the quiet deadly parts. Clint was and is a handsome man with beautiful eyes, and that Eastwood smile we all adore. He was born May thirty-first of nineteen thirty. Clints real name is Clinton Eastwood Jr.. My favorite Clint Eastwood western movies are The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, A fistful of Dollars, The Outlaw Josey Wales. The third in line is Gregory Peck. He was tall, dark and handsome. The Yellow Sky, How the West was Won, and Roman Holiday were a few of my western favorites but I could watch any of his movies over and over again. His real name was Eldred Gregory Peck and was born on April fifth of nineteen-sixteen. The fourth in line is James Maitland "Jimmy" Stuart. In my eyes, Jimmy was one of the best actors of all times. I liked the sound of his voice, his awesome facial expressions, and he just really got into all his roles. My personal favorite Jimmy Stuart movie is It's a Wonderful Life. I watch it every single year on Christmas Eve. He was born on May twentieth nineteen and eight. He was a nice all-around type of man and was loved for his ordinary roles. I liked all of his movies and especially the movies with Henry Fonda. Shenandoah was another favorite and of course How The West was Won. These are just a handful of my favorite Legendary Cowboy Actors. There are many more like Henry Fonda, Gary Cooper, Robert Duvall and Sam Elliott and my favorite legendary woman actress is Maureen O'Hara. Who are your favorite legendary western actors? What are your favorite western movies that they starred in? ***** My next WIP is PEYTON the fourth installment of The CHASING TIMES series. For those of you who have not had the good fortune of reading The Chasing Time series I am glad to tell you it is a time travel western romance series. I have enjoyed writing this story extensively. The character’s old and new have done all the work, except for the typing. I have to say this is one of the fun parts about writing a series. You feel like the character’s are part of the family. When I started writing Peyton's story it was going to be mostly about Peyton and an occupational therapist, but the rest of the Clark family has gotten way out of hand and simply said, took over the story. The opening scene is where it left off in Marissa and little Johns story, Christmas Eve at Ma Clarks Ranch. The Clark family is gathered at the big family table eating dinner. Peyton was found out about the family secret when Jesse Junior hears the adult's talking quietly and think's they are talking about the portal at which time he pulls on his father Jesses sleeve and asks, "Pa, is aunt Marissa talking about the time traveling portal at the Birdcage, our family secret?" Out of the mouth of kids, right. Next thing you know Marissa has told Peyton she wants him to go to the future with them in two days for Kate and Daniels’s wedding reception. Marissa of course has more motives up her sleeve then she cares to admit. She wants Peyton to see a specialist while he's in the future for his leg that was injured during the civil war. Two days later the same day of Kate and Daniels wedding the entire Clark family journey to Tombstone via covered wagons and horses. At the stroke of midnight, they step into the future of a hundred and thirty years. From that moment on the characters are holding my brain hostage while they tell their story. I am hoping to finish Peyton soon! Thank you for reading. See you the fourth Monday of March for my next blog. Until then keep safe, and be kind, and as the song goes, don’t worry be happy!
