HERO & OUTLAW

The other night we were channel surfing, or scratching, for something and/or interesting to watch on TV. We came upon a Sam Elliott movie HERO. It is about an aged actor who was very popular in his prime, but in his 70s he is not. He makes radio commercials but keeps hoping to make another movie. Of course Sam Elliott does have a very many, very identifiable, western sincere deep voice. During this span of time he runs into a female who is about half his age and their ups and downs or on again, off again. Sam in the movie has a fragile ego, which his deep voice would say otherwise. A small movie fan club elected him for their annual award. He went, high on some kind drug and when he accepted the award instead of making short speech he kept saying he did not deserve that award, or if he did, so did his fans. He called a middle aged woman up and gave her the award, telling her she deserved this more than he. Insteresting, the middle aged lady he called up is an actress on the soap DAYS OF OUR LIVES, who at the moment is having problem with her husband, who is having an affair with a man, which she doesn’t know yet, but her daughter does. When I saw the name HERO I thought it a movie of a Howard Hughes-like character making a western movie. That he named OUTLAW. Interesting OUTLAW inspired producer Howard Hughes to create the strapless bra. He designed it for Jane Russell, who he wanted to show more boob in the movie.
