James Arness & John Wayne vs Ed Asner! Who do you think will win?GUNSMOKE stories!A WORD ON WESTERNS

Long before THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW made Ed Asner a multi-Emmy winning household name, he toiled and toiled in movies and TV as a go-to Bad Guy. Not much fun for him, but a real treat for those of us who watched his memorable performances in a very wide variety of of shows. Ed was bested by James Arness' Marshall Matt Dillon on GUNSMOKE. Twice! Would you believe 5'9" Asner taking on 6'7" Arness? It happened! Ed was being bad on THE VIRGINIAN when a runaway horse he was riding dodged a tree branch. Ed wasn't so lucky. He was even a crazed, ex-football player and bodyguard in an episode of THE FUGITIVE, one of several he made. Everything changed for Ed Asner when he landed the part of lovable curmudgeon Lou Grant in 1970 opposite Mary Tyler Moore. When that series ended in 1977, it was a role he continued on LOU GRANT. That series was a bold departure at the time. It wasn't a sit-com spin-off, but an hour-long dramatic series with "comedic overtones." Asner recalls his early roles and then, in a surprise appearance, actress Jacqueline Scott (1931-2020), a friend and GUNSMOKE co-star, briefly joined us on-stage to remanence. Sadly, Jackie died July 23, 2020. This episode of A WORD ON WESTERNS was recorded at The Autry, May 15, 2018.

[@waynegilchrist1596]

Loved this one. Asner comes over with the "Lou Grant" attitude but he is more bark than bite as was his Lou character. He was in a lot of Westerns and it's no problem remembering him in them but his super success with the Lou Grant persona certainly overshadowed everything else. Jackie Scott is a delightful interuption. She's so full of life here it's hard to believe that she passed away but I understand that is the case. Thank you Rob, you are the best.

[@sue7777]

Okay, this was just so much fun! The only thing that could have made this better, for me, was to have been present in the room, watching it live! Rob, you do such a wonderful interview--which are more like conversations with old friends, allowing everyone to reminiscence about their experiences, and to shine a little warm light for all to enjoy. Now, before I get too sappy, thank you, Rob, for sharing with us.

James Arness & his brother Peter Graves graduated from my mothers high school in Minneapolis, North High Polars. She graduated with Robert Vaughn who came to many reunions & took pictures with fellow class mates. (We have some). It was largely a height challenged student body. About 70% were shorter Jewish students. The Arness brothers were like GIANTS.

[@PatrolOfficer161]

I had a huge case of Deja Vu watching this. In 2005 I had the privilege to be in "Resurrection: The J.R. Richard Story" filmed in Houston, Texas with Charles Durning. He took all of us (it was a small cast) to his hotel where he wined and dined us all while regaling stories as varied as his POW (and other WWII experiences) to hilarious stories of fellow actors on screen and Broadway. He told some of the most un-PC jokes you'd ever bust a gut over and like Mr. Asner, went where his memories took him in the conversation. Let me share one of the things with your audience that he made a point of telling us. He asked what we thought the greatest western ever made was and around the table we all gave our opinions. Mine was "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" with a near tie to "The Big Country". Others were "How the West was Won", "The Searchers" or "Stagecoach" Mr. Durning agreed they all had merit but his personal choice was "Shane" which no one could argue. Thank you for this post.

[@AWordonWesterns]

Thanks for your memories, PO. You might enjoy this coming Sunday's AWOW. I've got two of the THE BIG COUNTRY director William Wyler's adult children, Catherine and David, as my guests talking about Wyler's silent western films and continuing their conversation about THE BIG COUNTRY.

[@tonym994]

REST EASY, Jackie. I remember the one where she was alone w/ her kids and a gang on the run invades her home, and Festus has to pretend to be her man. he's been seen in town as Deputy. she tells him his face "ain't likely to be forgotten". when he adds "I reckon you're right.", she interrupts by saying "it's a good face". what a line. delivered in a flawless way, at a time when the characters have just met, and aren't sure they even have long to live. Thanx, Rob!!

[@AWordonWesterns]

Thanks, Tony. Ken's and Jackie's chemistry was so real that there was talk of having her return as that character for a sequel. She appeared in 8 episodes of GUNSMOKE!

[@tonym994]

so glad this walk-on exists, after hearing about her passing. thanx agin, Rob. see ya directly.

[@jimross7648]

Ed Asner I think just exaggerated being a lovable curmudgeon to portray Low Grant. Even in Bad Guy roles he always had that deadpan delivery that with slight vocal inflections changed how his lines were interpreted. Menace, Sarcasm, Humor, and Loneliness, were all conveyed by his physicality in the way he held his body, and use of his voice. I think he's always been a lovable curmudgeon who just dials it up and down when he wishes.

[@AWordonWesterns]

Thanks, Jim. that's called talent.

[@EldenSmith]

That was great Rob. I loved that. Ed Asner made me laugh so much in this. One of his shows my dad would watch was Lou Grant. And I'll never forget a scene I walked in on, Lou was being pulled over, The officer asked him if he had any thing to drink, and he says "Yeah, a couple at happy hour, but I didn't stay long enough to get happy,". ..... After watching him today, I think that is just him. Lol. And I heard something else today I hadn't heard before, I didn't catch that before that Duke wanted to play "Patton" that's the first time I heard that. Thanks again Rob for an awesome interview. 👍

[@Paladin1873]

What a coincidence. My wife and I watched "The Shepherd of the Hills" for the first time a couple of nights ago. It's a beautiful 1941 color film with a solid story line and excellent cast. Even though northern California location shots were used to simulate the Ozarks, this turned out to be a wise choice because the scenery is spectacular. Ward Bond and Harry Carey, Sr. are present despite it being directed by Henry Hathaway instead of John Ford, and John Qualen plays his usual Swedish/Norwegian/Danish character (which makes about four movies in a row I've seen him in - all by coincidence). The real surprise is watching a young Marc Lawrence play a very empathetic and tragic character, far from his later roles as the stereotypical mobster/hit man. This is a movie well worth watching.

[@Paladin1873]

I should add this has been one of your funniest freewheeling interviews. I'm so sorry to hear about Jacqueline Scott's passing. She was a pistol.

Ed speaking of Jim Arness's intimidating size with Ed at 5' 9", James Drury who's listed at six foot, in reminiscing on being hired for his first Gunsmoke, and I suppose feeling like a midget next to Arness even at that height and not wanting to be dwarfed in every scene, insisted first thing on having lifts put in his boots before appearing in any shot with Jim.

Yeah, I remember that Fugitive episode with Kurt Russell as Girard's kid too. Playing a little stool pigeon who Kimble (being a good judge of character) outsmarts in the end. No way you'd think of him ever playing Wyatt Earp in a classic Western like Tombstone. And being such a great actor in the genre, as good as Eastwood in my opinion. He was the best part of Tarantino's Hateful Eight for example, and more recently in Bone Tomahawk, a very underrated western I liked a lot. Fun show with Ed and Jackie, along with Kurt having that Fugitive connection... maybe the best non Western show of that era.
