Harris
|
Irishman Richard Harris, who died at 72 years of age, will perhaps best be remembered, like his chum Richard Burton, as an extraordinary stage actor who never quite fulfilled his big screen potential. fortunately for Western flick buffs, Harris delivered impressive performances in several influential, trailblazing Westerns, including Major Dundee (1965), directed by Sam Peckinpah, and A Man Called Horse (1970), the forerunner of many a white-man-adopted-by-Indians saga, such as Kevin Costner's Dances with Wolves. In his declining years, Harris made a mighty fine impression in Clint Eastwood's Academy Award winner, The Unforgiven (1992). |
