The image that I have burned in my mind when the name Slim Pickins comes up is him riding the bomb dropped from the B-52 in the movie Doctor Strange Love.....riding it like a bucking bronc waving his hat and ........Ye..haw.....Ye..Haw...Ye..Haw

My best memory of him is reining in his horse at the toll booth and telling one of the men to go back to town and get a fistful of quarters in the flicker Blazing Saddles.
"Screw you! I work for Mel Brooks!"
There were a lot of Cowboy Actors that were actual Cowboys also and could ride the hair off anything with four legs. For instance Glen Ford, Randolph Scott, Buck Taylor, Richard Farnsworth, Ken Curtis, Yakima Canutt and many others.
The late great Ben Johnson was 100% Cowboy and a friend and sidekick to many such as "The Duke"!
May he Rest In Peace !

I worked in the Industry & got to meet and work with many of the cowboys mentioned in this thread. They were a great bunch of guys. I miss them. My Heroes have always been cowboys. The younger generations have sponge-bob, transformers, power rangers & such. I'm glad I had cowboys.
