R.I.P. 2020 Western Stars Who Died! A Word on Westerns Tribute to our Guests & Other Western Icons

2020 was a devastating year for many reasons. With this special episode we honor those performers and filmmakers who joined us to share their memories of working in the western genre. We also pay tribute to others who made contributions to westerns but were never able to participate us at The Autry Museum to discuss their film history. Who was your favorite from among those we lost? We, and future generations, will always have their work to savor and enjoy. We thank them all. May they Rest In Peace.
