On Story by Austin Film Festival: The Women of Lonesome Dove 

She really is and I feel it’s gone somewhat unrecognized. People have given far more recognition to other actresses.

That scene just kills me every time I see it. It's absolutely heartbreaking and brilliant at the same time.

Isn't she though!? ♥️

True. That’s why I clicked on.

Bit sexist and ageist!

Stunning

@@alistairbain6149 how?

Absolutely!

I've thought that for many years

Yes.

Love it. It helps the rest of us to remember that when we are down hearted over something we are pursuing and have no support from others being frustrated and pushed down, to carry on with our mission, we might just be right after all.

Like the Beatles

Like JK Rowling and the Harry Potter series. She was rejected by a lot of publishers. I bet they're kicking themselves now!

Agree!

If he didn't get his poke, you can slap me back.

Alessa Frank whores don't look like that. very unauthentic

I totally agree!! The person who wrote the nasty letter was a complete dumba-- Suzanne was a genius on this film with such detail and that is what made it so special, and she was very strong to continue on with such opposition.

I watch Gunsmoke every day.

@@amberlilly4101 There's a Festus coffee mug out there somewhere...It's a nice way to wake up each morning.

Loved her in that. Wish Gus had the sense to stay with her on that beautiful piece of land.

Didn't she pass away? Tho not sure about that. She was up in age when she played Clara

She was a Peach wasn't she 😂

No

Reese was in Return to Lonesome Dove in love with Newt played by Ricky Shrouder

Say, did you get that Packard polished? We call it "Racing the mule"in Texas!

??? Not one mention of feminism & many nods to the men behind the scenes as well as in the film. Not sure 🤔 what you are talking about.

Gus was near on 40 years older than Lori darlin. Old enough to be her grandpa. Sincerely doubt the beautiful young Dianne was in love with an older married man tho she did say she liked him and was in awe of him as an actor..

I wish I knew, I've thought about it many times but we don't really keep up with actors much and I don't know who was popular at that time. They were lucky that the actors they got were available for these parts. I would love to here if anybody else could think of a substitute for Clara's role. It really doesn't matter it's a done deal. It was great anyway!

Huston was just fine to me. Remember what her character had been 30 years before when Call had loved her. She fit. Just my opinion.

Dobie thanks for your input. I guess I'm being too critical about her and it wasn't really about the way she looked, although, she did tower over Gus. Anyway, it was more about her acting for this part. She seemed to be trying too hard to fit her role and it just didn't come off very natural. The other actors seemed to literally be that character they were playing. She is a good actress and has been in a many other things that seemed to suit her. It doesn't really matter the whole film was phenomenal, it is our all time favorite.

Agree, 100 percent.

You have a hard time listening don’t you… they literally explained why she wasn’t there

I didn't notice that.
