I grew up watching these guys on television, my father had seen their movies in the theater. Slim Pickens was always my favorite, but for all the westerns he was in, I always remember him for 1941, dropping his boot in the toilet.

And they'll place us into themselves & into their arts.
These are the ones who'll continue wresting us up...
Long after their appointed rests in peace.''

All the pictures we have are the same you can find posted on the internet. Plenty of them if you google Slim Pickens. You might try and contact your Grandfather or Grandmother.
