[dot.hawkes]

I know that name. Ring any bells?

[Rollo]

Probably you are thinking of this:

[dot.hawkes]

i donl;t need the link I have the DVDs, no I was watching McQ earlier and he was in it, method acting The Duke off the screen, same as he did to marvin in The Killers. he was a lovely man so i always read. very underrated

[Rollo]

As soon as I read the name The Virginian was the connection I made.

[dot.hawkes]

I've actually just emailed him, told him how great I think he was in loads of stuff, hope he replies, I emailed Brendon boone a few years ago and he replied.

[dot.hawkes]

yes Rollo, he played Emmett Ryker in the Virginian, he had such a cool way of stealing the screen, a bit like Steve McQueen.

[Rollo]

Good luck then.

The name was rather unusual, so it stuck in my mind, even sfter all these years.

I see he is 81 now.

[pastafreak]

I remember him....he had all-american blonde surfer looks if I am not mistaken....must go look at the link...

[dot.hawkes]

yes he did pasta, he was so laid back and cool, he is 81 now, but so what, he worked with the Duke and marvin, the man has a story to tell. he was also working on the virginian when pete Duel guest starred and so he walked with the best

[pastafreak]

But..I MAY be confusing him with Dug McClure....

[pastafreak]

I looked at his website,dot..still a VERY nice looking man....

[dot.hawkes]

pasta how could you confuse him with Doug McLure???? Yes Doug was a lovely guy too fair enough, but totally typecast

I've been watching North and South with Patrick Swayze and James Read every night for 3 weeks on one of Sky's whacky channels - luvverly!

And I'm sure Clu Gulager's name is in the line up but not seen him yet. Remember him well from 'our' era dot.

[dot.hawkes]

yes he played Sheridan in N and S

hey, read in the mirror todayb that Patrick has said no more kemo, there is nowt down or him, it;s heart breaking, it will be awful if he goes too soon

[rabbitygirl]

Saw that a day or 2 ago dot. Such a shame. He may have been too weakened by his recent pneumonia as well.

[pastafreak]

Hi rabbity!!...how are ya hun??

[rabbitygirl]

Hiya pasta. You OK? I'm fine. Tired tho. 7 hours non stop on my feet today - yacking away like a goodun.

First Sunday off in about 10 weeks tomorrow. Yippee! I get to read the papers properly and at my leisure on the right day!

[pastafreak]

Got nickname from his father for the clu-clu birds who were nesting at the Gulager home at the time Clu was born.


(What on earth is a clu-clu bird?)
