I love painting by rosco

Being raised in a small rural town, surrounded with trees and clean fresh sparkling creeks and springs, it was a natural inspirational setting for an aspiring artist. I remembered the fishing trips with my father when we waded the streams in the fall with all the splendor of colored leaves washing about our feet. I have painted those memories many times and I guess I am never happier than when I face a chalk white canvas and fill it with the brilliant colors of those memories. For painting to me.... takes me home again."

Ride Lonesome with Randolf Scott is one of my favorite westerns to have worked on.

Coy and Vance were just doing what any actor who has the opportunity to be on a hit TV show would have done. they took the job they did not take john or tom's job, they were pawns of Warner bros. to cohere john and tom to come back to the show. it so happens that john and tom had a legit beef with warner bros. they were getting cheated in money due them on merchandising. as we all were. coy and Vance were brought on the show not to replace them that is impossible anyway but were brought on to make john and tom give into to warner' bros. demands. it was hard for the new guys as the fans resented their dressing and acting like john and tom they were just reading the scripts that were originally written for tom and john it was not their choice to change the charterers. I hope fans understand coy and Vance were pawns and needed the work. who can blame them i sure don't. Rosco

In my new autobiographical book you can share with me the golden age of Hollywood when it had unequaled world class.

Real actors and actress, who had glamor, intrigue,

excitement. I will be the first to admit that even in the

past, and I mean the glorious hay days of Hollywood, it

was never all sun glasses and autographs. There is nothing

but truth in my book as I remember it, and I don't name

names,unless I experienced or was a part of something I

think might be of interest to you.

I never intentional put any thing down about anyone

unless it is something nice, sweet, funny or just plain

complimentary to that individual. Unless such information

is a well know fact, and has been witnessed or reported by

reliable sources. And I don't mean the Hollywood rag magazines.

If you do read my autobiography be forewarned, you will

not find it a shock for shock sake type of book, nor was

it meant to be. If your looking for that kind of cheap

sensationalism that you find in most of the "smut

magazine's" now days. Magazines that continually tear

down Hollywood to its lowest form in order to sell more

copies of their lies, and half lies. Just plain garbage.

Let it be known from the start, I wrote this book for

those who might enjoy the experiences of my life from an

orphan from Kentucky, who grew up to become a would be rag

tag actor who attempted to succeed in Hollywood during the

time when it was really the glamour capital of the world.

A crowned queen who at that time was in every sense of the

word, the real golden era of "Hollywood". It is also about

how I survived in a cruel town where a dream can be

fulfilled or broken in a heart beat. I am proud that I had

the opportunity and the courage to do battle with the

tigers of Hollywood and win, but I must admit, I still

have the scars to show for it. If your curious, It's all

in my book. BEST IN HOLLYWOOD

(THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL)
