Burt Lancaster! Robert Duvall! Kevin Costner! A WORD ON WESTERNS 

If there was ever a better western than Lonesome Dove I haven’t seen it. Augustus and Woodrow were the ultimate pair of cowboys.

Kenny Call is one awesome man and cowboy. He headed up a local small cattle drive for some of his friends and neighbors in Acton, CA. Saved them a ton of money and stress as they were in Texas. All of the drovers in this dusk into dark drive were amazed at his ability to make his way in the dark over and through rough terrain. The missing cattle were delivered safe and sound back in their own pens. Kenny Call it was an honor to have shared a moment in your corner of the world!!!

I love these Western interviews....thank you Rob for keeping the Westerns alive. I wish there were more today. Because they're American, enough said....what an iconic statement. God Bless you all.

Loved the interview miss the good old westerns. Grew up watching the old ones on TV during the 1950s.

Fantastic. Loved this interview

Great pictures , stories , and remembrance. Golden memories.

How fun was this interview ... really enjoyed. Love hearing the stories of when western movies. There the bests ♥️😊👍

GREAT interview and guest!!! Once again, fantastic stuff! Thanks Rob, for all these marvelous videos, all of us love to see these great old timers still around and kickin' and telling great stories!!

About time for another good western Robert Duvall Kenny Kall Sam Elliot Tom Sellick the good guys of course it's to bad that Ben Johnson and Harry Carry Jr are not here to round it out

Kevin Costner went to my high school. Always love a good western. I think most Americans love 'em, because not only is it our past, but a lot of us had family live through that past. My great grandfather was both Marshall as well as black smith in Dodge City Kansas in the 1870's and '80's. Civil War veteran too. Thank you for posting.

Great interview!! My ears perked up when I heard Kenny mention Kay Lenz of whom I've had a crush on since BREEZY, WHITE LINE FEVER, GREAT SCOUT AND CAT HOUSE THURSDAY and Rod Stewart's INFATUATION music video.....ruff.. Didn't know she was involved with Ben Johnson's charity rodeos which just further deepens my infatuation with her.

This is one of my favorite interviews. I remember Kenny from his rodeo days, but didn’t realize he was so damned funny.

Did I get it wrong? I think Mr. Call's point with the Burt Lancaster story was that he actually helped Kenny look better...not himself. Great stories! My buddy had an interesting little Burt Lancaster story he shared with me. His uncle lived in the Hollywood area for many years and would have little anecdotal experiences with stars & celebrities every so often. One day his uncle was shopping in a clothing store and ended up in line behind another gentleman at the checkout counter. The gentleman had purchased a tie and was having a devil of a time paying for it. He explained to the cashier that he never shopped and didn't have any cash but he thought he might have means of paying but didn't know how to use it. He was very apologetic and slightly embarrassed as he handed over his wallet and the clerk rifled through his credit cards. The man didn't know which, if any, were useful...nor how to use them. Between the clerk and my friend's uncle, a suitable card was found that worked and Burt Lancaster thanked them profusely for being so understanding of his ignorance and went on his way.

If Hollywood, or any town, would bring back well produced westerns, I would start watching movies again. Thanks for highlighting these actors on your channel. I gotta watch Silverado again.

Rob, your videos are great fun and informative. I enjoyed this one and another one about Burt Lancaster who was one of my favorite actors. The stories about things that happened on the sets of movies really do make the movies and actors more real. Thanks for the memories your videos bring back from the past.

Love This Show...

I know I'm really late for this party-but, I'm so glad I stumbled in. Great fun hearing stories from a guy who sorta got "roped" into acting. Thanks, Rob, for sharing your genuine gut laugh and this interview.

That was really good ! Thank you

Robert Duvall..my all time favorite..consummate talent

Rob, thank you for making these historical videos.. They are wonderful my friend. Jerry

Mr. Call is a gifted story teller. He is funny to boot. I am sorry I missed this when it was first posted. Thanks Rob!

I worked on Bull Durham and in the industry it's the custom to give out "crew jackets" and when Mr. Costner found out the producer was going to get cheap nylon windbreakers, he sprung for leather and wool varsity jackets. Classy move and one I won't forget. Nice interview!

I miss the hay day of westerns.. I miss all the old actors.. we still have these fellas along with a few more that have the ability to make an excellent western...

"It's easier to turn a cowboy into an actor than an actor into a cowboy." - John Ford

Great interview!! My ears perked up when I heard Kenny mention Kay Lenz of whom I've had a crush on since BREEZY, WHITE LINE FEVER, GREAT SCOUT AND CAT HOUSE THURSDAY and Rod Stewart's INFATUATION music video.....ruff.. Didn't know she was involved with Ben Johnson's charity rodeos which just further deepens my infatuation with her.

Another incredible program. Wish I could have spent a day with Yak. Attended Ben Johnson's Pro-Celibrity rodeo in May of 1995.

Great interview... as are they all. My notifications show I'm way behind. Hondo and Wm. Wellman will be next up for me. Fine portrait of Robert Duvall... I noticed your signature there. Where does your talent end?

I’ll never figure why more Western’s aren’t made when most people absolutely love them. Like anything I suppose. If it’s a good script it’ll be a good movie.

Because it's America. What a great answer.

It's great seeing all these people Rob, and hearing some of the behind the scenes info!! Keep 'em Comin' Pardner!!

John Ford once said, “it is easier to turn a cowboy into an actor, than to turn an actor into a cowboy”.

"Its America ain't it?" Not for much longer....

Back in the 90s Duvall and his wife bought The Rail Stop Restaurant in Fauquier County, The Plains, Va. It went from being a little hometown eatery where you could get an Omelet, Club Sandwich, a bowl of Chili and a Grilled Cheese Sandwich or other American diner fare for a reasonable price to fancy, foo foo and only Millionaires from neighboring Loudoun County can afford the place. It completely alienated the locals. Mr. Duvall however is known to be very friendly, approachable, charming and most gracious. He gives Tango Lessons at their Restaurant for $500 per 1/2 hour. He also donates a Lesson to any cause that asks him to. My ex-wife managed a Starbucks in a Barnes & Noble in Manassas VA and Mrs. Duvall, an avid reader, would shop books while Bob drank Espresso. He signed many napkins, pics etc for my wife over several visits. He loves to dine out. You can walk into most better restaurants in Northern Virginia, especially Italian & Barbecue joints, and see a pic of Robert Duvall arm in arm with the owner and family. It's really hard to not like the man. I think he is one of the absolutely most consummate actors of his day.

I can’t say enough good things about your channel. It’s great just so much fun.

Man i am loving this show i love hearing the stories,my brother was married to two producers sister,Bobby and Kevin Downes.I don't believe they ever did a western,but i was an extra in a movie with Randy Travis,mostly a sci fi thing but my nephew and i got to spend all day on the set and the make up gal was tremendous,she fixed up the lead gals leg,and i thought she had really hurt herself the name of that movie is ~THE VISITATION~ sorry not a western.Rob i would love an autographed photo of you to go with my western collection id you were so inclined.

Love your channel! Unless my eyes deceive me in the one group picture it looks like Scotty in the back row, before he beamed up to space! 👍👍👍

My great uncle, Marshall Miller, grew up with Yakima. They were lifelong friends until they passed.

I got a chance to meet and jaw a little with Kenny back in the 70s at Oklahoma City when I was hauling horses. He was a little different then..... but he had to be ! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍

Burt took care of his people. Look at at how many movies he had Nick Cravat in. And that idea of alternating a pop flic to fund the next more serious flic. Good savvy for show business.

i wish i could find a print of the painting of all those who participated in the ben johnson charity roping event. it was truly beautiful and really captured something very, very special.

The moral is: "If it ain't your pant leg on fire, you don't have to do something about it."

Take us inside that charity group your guest was talking about sounds like a very fun out fit with all those personality's in one spot. Happy Trails

If you can't have fun Don't go. Love it!

Kenny had the look i dont think he was ever acting,he was just being himself, a true cowboy ! That was awesome!

Just down to Texan as you can get. I might but it ain't that hard to get the job done 😆

Robert Duvall in lonesome dove is my favorite....

I may be late on the ball...but I will find them,sooner or later.I am very happy to find your channel,Rob...not a dull one in the bunch!

Thank You Cheers from Pennsylvania Blessings 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Love these videos especially this one. Thanks

Always Loved going to Ben Johnson's Pro-Celebrity !!

What a simply marvelous interview. You have a real knack for finding some of he best actors to interview, and this time Kenny, a real honest to God real cowboy. He covered a lot of ground including heavy hitters. Buck Taylor has such a rich history and it was good to hear his name come up. I was really glad hat Silverado came up. Silverado is one of my all time favorites. Kenny has really enjoyed a wonderful “second career” in great western films. Thank you once moore, Rob. Never stop.

I love Kenny Call!! He is great! Such a natural!!

Great guest and interview, but far too short!

That story he told was exactly told the way my Uncles in Texas would have told it.

Burt Lancaster! My buddy! LoL Once I was working down by the railroad tracks all alone when suddenly, I had that sense of someone staring at me. I turned around & it was him leaning on the fence watching me work. I nodded & so did he! It was later when I even realized who that familiar face was!! It was Fantastic!

Another delightful memory from the past. Love the behind the scenes info from your guests!

Great guest and fun interview. Thanks Rob

Mr Rob: I just discovered your site and have tried to listen to several of your interviews today, (Chris Mitchum, and BB and Janet Arness) but was really disappointed in the sound. Would love to see more videos… maybe a review and improvement of the sound could be added to your agenda??? I love the old westerns and the stories you offer; just needs better sound.

Gr8!

I so love all that you do. Please do something on Dale Robertson.

I don't have a favorite because I likem all but I enjoyed Mr Call very much.Simple man common as dirt I understand people like this...👍👍

This is legendary stuff....thank you so much AWOW.

Listen to the song - "The Last Cowboy Song "

Great interview! I' m going to watch all of the films he mentioned this week. Saw Johnny Crawford among the others in the picture of Ben Johnson's rodeo crew♥

These guys could keep the average western fans like me for days. Thank you

Thanks for another great interview Rob.

Love that story! Your pants on fire. You wasn't very excited. And then he said that it wasn't my pants! Lol now that's a cowboy for you.

Kenny Call is the real thing, a real cowboy!

VERY VERY GOOD ACTORS. LOVE ❤️ WESTERNS. THANK YOU 😊

Fyi - Burt's last film was Field of Dreams (Moonlight Graham) with Costner, one of Costner's favorite memories of the film.

I really enjoy your show but wish you could extend them to twenty minutes. Just start getting into them and their over.

I never, ever understood the popularity of Silverado among hardcore, older western fans. I remember answering a post years ago as to what my three favorite westerns were. I listed Shane as #1. A kind soul responded, advising me that if Shane was my fav, then I just had to watch Silverado. I'd always avoided the movie because highlights of it just didn't do a thing for me. A couple years back I decided to watch it, mainly because Dennehy was in it. He was good, if course, but, imo, the movie overall was a dud. I still don't get how it's in western fans' top five.

Rob, I think you guys misunderstood Kenny; he was saying that Lancaster was putting Kenny in positions that upstaged Burt. Go back and listen to what Kenny was saying!!!

Another out standing interview 👍

Great video!👍🏾😀❤️🇺🇸

Mr. Word i love that bolo tie!!!!!!!

Great interview 👍

Thank you for these video's. It's really too bad that there are hardly any western movies anymore! I would love to see a Western about the Pony Express, how it came to be, the journey, and how it ended.

Okay, I am at the point where I will be needing an intervention if you keep putting up this content, Rob. Amazing.

Found a picture with you in it Rob!!

Absolutely love these.

Great show Thanks Rob

Joanne Woodward pull the Upstageing trick on me 😂

Great video! thanks!

Mr. Word, have you ever interviewed Jena Engstrom? She was active in the late 50s and early to mid 60s, and most of her acting credits were in Western TV shows like Gunsmoke and Have Gun, Will Travel. Just a thought. Please keep up the great work in your videos, we love them! Thanks.

Has this program ever done any interviews with Native American Actors like Eddie Littlesky ? He has long been gone from this World but there are many actors out there ( Native American) that I’m sure would love to share there story’s but qqqwq

Cattle Annie wasn’t Burt Lancasters last movie !! He made Atlantic City 1981,Local Hero 1983,Tough Guys with Kirk Douglas 1986 and Field of Dreams 1988? Or 1989.

Nice guy

"I starred with Deborah Kerr in 'From Here to Eternity', ha ha ha ha ha."

Love Burt Lancaster and Robert Duvall.

Kenny call is a great guy .Very down to earth.Thanks Rob .

Not his last film,maybe film as the main star but he was in others after

Funny how Rob Ward favers Charlie Sheen.

Yes butg thed b.s.d on crap that's going on in the .weorld not yes its .crsp so wish you the best that day on your hand shake and your word is gone it's the new American ! Duck you sueed me

Wat a combination I loved Lancaster Duvall costner McQueen And Bronson they are And were my idols for westerns brillant actors won’t be seen again the best of the best for me

Not being a fan of Hollywood or actors and actresses in general I will say that Robert Duvall is the most believable cowboy actor I have ever seen. Costner always seems to cast himself in the hero's role then delivers his lines in a bored monotone as if he's reading an audiobook about growing a vegetable garden or something.

Cool
