“ADVANCE FOR SUNDAY MAY 31, 1970, WITH UPI STORY BY JAMES PURDY – OKLAHOMA CITY: Tim Holt, hero of 140 western movies, checks out six-guns used during 22-year career. The pistols were used by his father, Jack Holt, a “good guy” in the Saturday thrillers before him. Holt, 52, now a radio sales manager in Oklahoma City, thinks the movie industry is missing a financial bet by not bringing back the traditional knight in white Stetson who rarely drank anything stiffer than sarsaparilla. 5/31/70”

One of the last real movie stars is gone now. Still, 103 years is a very long life, and he did so much with it. He made so many films I have enjoyed I won’t even attempt to list them all. Rest in peace Mr. Douglas.
I rarely recommend movies anymore, but Apollo 11 (2019 Documentary) is the rare exception. Made up of restored archival film and still photos this is a definite must see, and a thousand times better than any fictionalized account Hollywood could produce on the subject. Watch this in awe when America, and indeed Western Civilization, was in its finest hour.
