Fun in Pawhuska, OK this weekend during the annual Osage Cattleman's convention.

The steer roping is in memory of Ben Sr. -- the father of our Ben. :) He was a remarkable character in his own right. :)

For Father's Day, an article about Ben Johnson, Sr. in the June 1962 issue of Western Horseman. :)

Found another contact sheet on eBay. This one is for The Hunter -- has 19 photos with Ben. Here are four photos from the sheet. You can see the entire sheet (with enlarged photos) here: https://benjohnsonfanpage.shutterfly.co ... allery/838

The photographer was Dave Friedman. I included a short bio in the album on the webpage.

Itsy bitsy teeny weeny size scans of a four-page photo feature from the set of Rio Grande, in the December 1950 issue of Movies magazine.

To download the big size (and much more enjoyable and legible) versions of these scans, go here: https://benjohnsonfanpage.shutterfly.com/print/985

Or e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll send them to you. ;)

A publicity still for the 1973 TV-movie Bloodsport, in the "Miscellaneous Photos and Lobby Cards" album in the Photo Gallery section. A snipe pasted on the back reads "Ben Johnson plays a man obsessed with his dream of a professional football career for his son in 'Bloodsport,' a contemporary drama on the ABC Television Network's "Wednesday Movie of the Week," DEC. 5 (8:30-10:00 p.m. EST).

Hmmm, is it just me or does the "new look" have less space for posting? Everything looks smaller.

Speaking of smaller --

Here are two stills from War Drums. I found them online a while back (can't remember where) and this is the size they came in. :( So they're a little smaller than usual. I wish they'd show up on an auction site so I could add actual physical copies to my collection.

Two Italian "photobustas" (posters) for War Drums. Yes, I actually have these posters! Italian and Japanese poster art is always great for these old films.

This is a cute little collector's card from a series called Riders of the Silver Screen, from Eagle Design. It's 4 1/2" x 2 1/2" and the picture is from Wagon Master.
