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.

They both certainly have that gnarled, weather-worn quality. Maybe for this reason, a lot of Western actors get better with age (I'm thinking Randolph Scott and even John Wayne, who didn't get famous until later in life).

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

Nice quiz, but you really do have to be an ultimate fan to get anywhere with it! I didn't stand a chance! Any chance of some easier quizzes for us more amateur fans? Bob @ Jerry Seinfeld Tickets

This is one of the all time great movies every made. All the great actors are in this film. There is nothing better. accutane lawyers

Does anyone else think that this quiz is a bit too hard!? I'm a big lonesome dove fan (like most people I know) and only knew a couple of the answers! Better get swatting! Don @ Lauryn Hill Tickets
