Screen Legends- Index/Discussion

Totally the wrong place for this, but I was just wondering if we could get a Screen Legends thread for Duke's good friend, Ronald Reagan.

Thanks, ethan. Do we have threads for Bob Hope, James Dean, Frank Sinatra, Errol Flynn & Bing Crosby, too? Heck, how 'bout one for Elvis (after all, he was originally supposed to play the Glen Campbell role in True Grit)? BTW, feel free to delete or move these posts elsewhere, I realize they are off-topic.

Hi Keith!
Anything on Red Skelton? A Canadien i believe!

hi keith
could you profile rory calhoun and sterling hayden,thanks

Oh well, thanks anyway Keith. There's enough to read right here. Maybe i'll get caught up in 10 or 12 years!

I personally think Henry Fonda should be listed in the index. He was definitely a star of the Golden Era.

I can also think at 15 or 20 ladies who should be included in the index.

Just a question - If an actor is profiled as a "Pal of the Saddle", do we want to preclude him/her from being a Screen Legend?
For example, Kirk Douglas and Anthony Quinn are Pals but would probably qualify as Legends as well. Perhaps we could cross reference them to avoid duplication.

We deal in lead, friend.

Fonda would easily qualify as a Screen Legend and is for my money one of the finest actors ever only below Duke, Jimmy Stewart, Clint Eastwood and Spencer Tracy for me. I thought the whole idea of Screen Legends though was to showcase those who did not already qualify for the pals of the saddle section.

Exactly Duke. That's what I was trying to say.

We deal in lead, friend.

How could you forget Richard Attenborough was in Brannigan! Tenuous link between Duke and Telly in The Greatest Story Ever Told aswell

Hi

I have just watched Duke guest appearing as Rooster Cogburn on the Red Skelton show where both wore eye patches on different eyes and Duke ended up wearing both patches.
