One of my favorite actors, James Coburn, was born on August 31, 1928, and he passed away on November 18, 2002. To celebrate and acknowledge the legend’s birthday, I thought I’d share one of my favorite scenes, and that’s his character’s introduction in THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN. What makes the scene so impressive is that it comes in on the heels of the badass intro of Bernardo O’Reilly (Charles Bronson) and somehow manages to top it. Enjoy!
OK…what a great Actor! I love him in “Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid” and so many more, but here’s the in-depth look I took of the absolutely “spot on” look at Hollywood through a wild filter of Tony Perkins and Stephen Sondheim – “The Last Of Sheila!” https://johnrieber.com/2023/03/02/psycho-meets-sondheim-the-terrific-70s-hollywood-mystery-the-last-of-sheila-from-stephen-sondheim-and-anthony-perkins/

That’s such a great story and write up on The Last of Sheila. I may have to pull out my DVD and watch that tonight!

I’m going to re-share this post tomorrow, and I’ve included a link to this story of yours as well…it’s important to remember the Icons even decades after they leave us – especially with so much of the work easily available on physical media or streaming…great story
