Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones may be the best Western actors ever. Both of them remind me of my late great-uncle who really was a cowboy in Blanco County Texas.

Hope this logs-in! (*-always denotes OSCAR winner) as for the unforgettable 1989 tv mini-series "Lonesome Dove" Despite it being made for television, it easily ranks up there with the all-time greatest Westerns>"The Searchers" "Shane" "0nce Upon a Time in the West" & others!
I do recall the EMMYS that year & both *Duvall & *Tommy Lee Jones canceled each other out & *Ben Kingsley won instead for "The Simon Wiesenthal Story"-(though a different title)
I believe it was "Murderer's among Us"
It's too bad that if they could have edited some of the sidebar stories out & released this magnificent movie in theaters & see how *OSCAR woulda' treated-it?
"I SWEAR"
This magnificent 1989 tv mini-series ranks up there with the greatest westerns "The Searchers" "Shane" "0nce Upon a Time in the West" & both lead actors lost the EMMY that yr to *Ben Kingsley in "Simon Wiesenthal Bio"
Likely canceling each other out
