Brad Dexter (1917-2002) |
|
- Robert Ryan, The Tall Men, 1954. In the mix for the Texas to Montana cattle drive boss mix in a tale of “tall men - and long shadows.” And a Gable far too old for his $830,000 role. He would have been happier with Dexter. He’d signed on but Ryan was taller, so much so that The King had to gain inches on a wooden box! Frank Sinatra made Dexter a producer after he saved Ole Blue Eyes from drowning during the Hawaii locations for None But The Brave, on May 10, 1964. Brad is The Magnificent Seventh hat no one remembers by name. Of Serbian descent, she was the s.econd husband of Peggy Lee
