Richard Farnsworth favorite Song: Skyball Paint
Performed by Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers
“No I didn’t audition, I didn’t even know David Lynch till the week before I started the film.”
“I worked with Cecil B. DeMille quite a few times.”
“I worked for John Ford, Howard Hawks, Henry Hathaway, Raoul Walsh – I worked for some real good directors.”
“I worked for Sam Peckinpah on quite a bit of action in his films, and he got excited once in a while.”
“I was a stunt man for 35 years.”
See ya Rich.
That’s Right! Anne of Green Gables….That’s how I really know him and loved him in that series. He was perfect. Nice tribute!
I still have a couple of interesting chapters about Richard Farnsworth – though it may seem I’m overdoing things.
Anne of Green Gables was a very popular series here in Canada. Well done too.
Quite a long career and for some reason, I find it heartening that he found his fame in his “golden” years.
I don’t think he cared all that much about Fame and Fortune, but he got his just reward anyway.
