FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES TELEVISION COWBOYS PANEL

What do you do when you have eight of the most famous television cowboys all gathered in one place? If you are a film festival, you have a panel. The Board of the Lone Pine Film festival announces it has scheduled an additional panel for the 14th festival coming up on October 10-12.

This will be a television Cowboy Panel and it is scheduled for Sunday, October 12th at 11:30 on the high school outdoor stage. It is free with the Festival Souvenir Button or entrance can be obtained by buying an $8 ticket at the time of the panel. Moderator for the panel will be Cowboy poet and western entertaining Larry Maurice.

All of the actors have either been the stars of their own shows, or frequent guest of the best western shows on network television during the 1950s and early 1960s. Clint Walker was the star of Cheyenne and Ty Harden the star of Bronco playing Bronco Layne. Both stars have many additional western roles to their credit. Peter Brown starred in Lawman and Laredo. Robert Horton remains indelibly branded in most fans' memories as Flint McCullough, the scout in Wagon Train. William Smith had a recurring role in Laredo. Kelo Henderson starred in 26 Men. Steve Mitchell and Ben Cooper as well as many of the other just named actors had hundreds of guest appearances in various western series and anthology shows.

If you were a fan of TV westerns, or your just plain curious, the television Cowboy Panel will not only be fun, but educational about the history and development of television.
