FASTEST GUN IN HOLLYWOOD

[AJ]

Here's a trick you don't see too often.

Sammy Davis Jr. - Two Ounces of Tin - The Rifleman - YouTube

Sadly they are both gone now........

Much as I like Glen Ford, he wasn't close. Read this: Who Was the Fastest Gun in Hollywood? - True West Magazine
Have read these accounts in various other publications.

Back to Glen Ford watch "The Sheepman" or "The Fastest Gun Alive" are great for tricks with a gun.

Read the article...Loved this comment: "(Hugh) O'Brian challenged Audie Murphy to a contest, but when Murphy requested live ammunition, O'Brian wisely declined."

Have heard that from more than one source. With what I have read on Murphy, he was having some PTSD and may have just done it.

From what I heard about O'Brian being a little on the over self indulgent type I wouldn't have doubted Murphy shutting him down to put him in his place or basically to put up or shut up. I hate those egotistical sumbitches and love it when someone puts them in their place. I remember the worst *** kicking I ever got was a smaller guy that took it upon himself to prove what a jerk I was, I couldn't hold it against him afterward and remember quite clearly taking a knee and holding up my hand in submission after he had effectively taken me apart in a fistfight and him stepping back allowing me to stand. My buddies wanted to jump him but I told them that he beat me fair, leave him alone. Never forgot that moment...never saw him again.

Not defending O'Brian, but I did meet him once in Pittsburgh. He was at a HOBY function. HOBY, Hugh O'Brian History. May have and probably had changed from the 1950's.
