Here's a "Magic-Eye"-type 3D pic that I did today in MS Paint:

Sorry I can't figure out how to get the actual picture to post instead of the link.

Hate to hear the disparaging comments about Rooster's previous "leading lady", as I think Kim Darby's performance as Mattie is incredibly good. I find the character endlessly fascinating and Darby is pitch perfect in the role.

As for Kate, I love the way she obviously seems to be having such a good time making ROOSTER COGBURN. Her chemistry with the Duke is a joy to behold, making her character's growing affection for Rooster seem warm and convincing. Too bad the movie itself is so bland and poorly done, with terrible direction, editing, and cinematography. The first time I saw it I couldn't believe how slapdash it seemed. Only after repeat viewings have I begun to develop first a tolerance and then a liking to the film--mainly thanks to its two stars.
