    A great movie Old Yeller.
    One of my favorite parts is Chuck Conners bargaining with Arliss.
    Always makes me laugh with the camera angle Chuck looks 10 feet tall.
    Course when I was a kid everyone looked taller to me too.
    Love these interviews Rob.

      That's how Connor's got the part of the dad in the Rifleman. He had such a great relationship with the kid that they thought he would be great in the TV show.

    I remember watching Beverly Washburn on TV but I had forgotten that she was in Old Yeller. I always liked her. I was a fan of the old monster movies like The Wolfman, Dracula, Frankenstein, etc. The work all the actors put in to make those movies happen was amazing. Lon Chaney Jr. was one of the actors I looked fit in movies as a kid. He made a lot so westerns. One role I remember well was in High Noon. He played a former lawman who was the mentor of Gary Cooper’s character. Lon Chaney Jr had to portray a man who had to back away from a fight he would have been glad to help in because he saw himself as a liability not a help. The tears in his eyes and the emotion in his voice made the situation more powerful than it might have been with another actor playing the part. He was definitely an under appreciated actor. Great show Rob. Thanks for bringing memories of Beverly Washburn and Lon Chaney Jr back to me.

    Old Yeller has always been a family favorite at our house. My 4 kids all loved it growing up and now their children (8 & counting) still watch it and ask for it over and over again when they visit. Thanks for what you do Rob, it surely means a lot to many people.

    As a kid, I was so sad when Old Yeller had to be put down. But it showed me a resolve, that sometimes you have to do things, that will break your heart. Great lasting memories of Dorothy McGuire, Beverly, Tommy, and another of my Role Models, Fess Parker.

    What a delightful back story. Old Yeller was so dear to me because we had an old mongrel dog that would be a twin of Yeller. Ironically just like Yeller, our beloved dog Rusty returned to us after being missing for about two weeks. He was all tore up from probably an encounter with a wild feline and we had to quarantine him for rabies. He didn't last thru quarantine but his head had to be sent to New Orleans for testing. As it turned out he was negative for rabies but the parallels to the movie was eerily similar so it was not just a good family movie but we could really relate.

    Another great interview, Rob. You are right, Beverly appeared in so many classic movies because she could deliver. It is a shame that Tommy Kirk had so many personal demons because I always thought he had the potential to be a great adult actor given the right roles. Lon Chaney, Jr could play just about any role, very competent performer.

    • @gerrydooley951
      @gerrydooley951 5 лет назад

      I agree with you about Tommy. He was probably the most talented of all the child actors who worked at Disney. I believe he was blackballed as a result of his lifestyle.

    • @AmericasChoice
      @AmericasChoice 5 лет назад

      @@gerrydooley951 Actually, he wasn't blackballed. At least not by Disney. A woman whose son was fiddled with by Tommy threatened to sue Tommy. She also contacted Disney about the incident. Disney actually made a few more movies with Tommy after that. Tommy's drug and alcohol use were the reasons he stopped getting work because he became unreliable. He admitted this in later interviews.

Have to admit I've been wanting to watch Spider Baby and it's here now on YT. Guess you know what I'll be doing later on. Have you seen Beverly on the original Star Trek? She was one of the crew. If I remember she was in the episode where everyone of the landing party were exposed to an aging virus except Chekov. She was really great in that. She's been great in everything she's been in. I wonder if she knows that Jeff was in my favorite version of Li'l Abner? Take care and thanks.

    Beverly was memorable in Old Yeller, Patty Duke show, Gidget, etc... I wish she had talked about her long friendship with Loretta Young. Fred Gipson was the author of the ‘Old Yeller’ book from which the movie was made. He was from Mason, Texas. There is a bronze statue of Old Yeller in the Mason town square by the courthouse and a plaque honoring Fred. Mason is in the hill country of Central Texas and a great place to view and photograph the beautiful array of bluebonnets and other colorful wildflowers in the Spring. It is also a gathering place for gem hunters and is known for the blue topaz which can be found in the area. And no, I don’t represent the Texas Tourist Bureau. 😄

      Johnny was at our AWOW taping on Tuesday with his brother, Robert, and wife, Charlotte. They are taking very good care of him. He had a good time, but his Alzheimers is very noticeable and he still needs constant help. Thanks for asking.
