Stil...I've always been a big Western movie fan. Still am. And I'm pretty sure I've heard the name Jess Arnold before. I've seen his Westerns and I have to say he's great in every role he plays. He played the role of Jesse James more than five times on screen and played Billy The Kid three times. He also had his own Western movie series where he played himself. In a 1964 interview just before his suicide, Arnold was asked if he enjoyed the Western genre and if he could do anything else what would it be. He simply replied, "I love Westerns. And I'm thinking about writing a Western novel." When asked why he didn't write one before, Arnold claimed, "Hell, that takes work". When asked how he would like to die, Jess Arnold replied, "With my boots on. Like my heroes." Unfortunately, as this thread mentions, that didn't happen. Nobody knows this, but in my dreams, I'm Jess Arnold. So I can you can say I literally died and gone to Heaven only to come back and enjoy a happy life. But does that really make me Jess Arnold? No. That just means I found something I wanna do in life. I wanna be a cowboy. Like Jess Arnold. Happy Trails, Jess. You made the last roundup.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
