    Sheb Wooley - The War Wagon (Snyder)


    Louise Platt - Stagecoach (Lucy Mallory)


    Lyle Bettger - The Sea Chase (Chief Officer Kirchner)


    Cheers, Hondo B)

    We've lost a lot of great people this year. Some were friends of Duke, and worked with him and some who left a mark in our hearts with their performances.
