Funny you mention Doug McClure. His daughter Tane was a customer of mine, we spoke on the phone many times. At one point she wanted to hire me to do some training, this was when I was in phone support. She had such a bedroom voice that her offer sounded like a different kind of offer and kind of freaked me out.She'd done a bunch of T and A movies in the 80s and my coworkers kept reminding me that she was old enough to be my mother...

All the Cartwrights except Adam, Matt Dillon, Festus, Doc, the Virginian (Doug Mcclure) The only one that was an A$$hole was Chuck Connors (the Rifleman) and he was the the one I wanted most to meet and get an autograph. He was too drunk to sign autographs. I think one of 4 appearances was cancelled because he was too drunk to stand up. Johnny Crawford says Chuck was great, but at least on one weekend, he was worthless. I think in his younger days, he was great, Quite a baseball player too. (Dual Sport) Most folks who become a star (or rich) become a$$holes, if they weren't already. Festus and Doc genuinely enjoyed meeting people. I got to see them several times, and they were always consistent, and the most friendly of all. Best thing to do is to ignore the "stars" and don't support "professional" sports > Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes <mailto:mercedes@okiebenz.com> > November 5, 2017 at 1:46 PM > I met him once, he seemed a bit of a jerk.
