My mother was a big fan of John Wayne. Also Clint Walker ("Cheyenne") and Alan Ladd ("Shane", "This Gun For Hire"). She loved those three. Wayne is the lead in my 2nd favorite western, "Rio Bravo". Ladd was great in "O.S.S" & "Shane".

I still think the Hollywood 'Western Gunfighter' was a lot cooler looking than the real ones...Tight tailored clothes; low slung holster; useless hat; walking boots...

Two of the only real-seeming Westerns I've seen are "The Long Riders" and "The Outlaw Josey Wales"...

...And they all drank cappuccino with creamer, honey and sugar...
