…and,

from Mr. Dennis LaFollette:

 I recently talked to my brother, Jim, and he and Linda are doing very well in their new digs in Mesquite. I hope to get over to visit them some time in the not too distant future.
  
  Before Jim left, I had the pleasure of joining him at the Reel Cowboys for breakfast. Karl Virrden, and Sleepy Dave and a couple of our other brothers were there also. It was a fun time and I’m looking forward to going back when I can redeem myself for the poor showing I made as part of the impromtue entertainment. “Back in the Saddle” will never be the same.
  
  My weekends just now are taken up with rehearsals for “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” which goes up at the Lancaster Performing Arts Center November 10, 11, and 12, with yours truly essaying the part of Jacob.
  
  In addition, I’ve landed a small speaking part in a low budget film which will be shot near Mojave in mid November. It is a combination ghost story and morality tale called “A Cabin in Time.” written, produced and directed by Linda Larson of Palmdale. I will play the part of a judge. It is a good opportunity!
  
  I’ve got to say I really miss all the Deadwood deadheads! See you all soon, I hope on some project or other.

Tom was truly one of my closest friends from Deadwood. He has moved on to a brigher horizon but his spirit will live on with his friends from Deadwood.

Wow, bad news all around. First, I’m sorry to hear about Michell being taken off life support. My heart goes out to his family.
Secondly, two days ago Jim Glennon, one of the Directors of Photography, died of a blood clot dislodging from his leg and entering his heart. He was already in the hospital for reasons unknown to me. I have yet to hear if there will be a service, but when I do, I will post the information.
Take care everyone, and I hope to see you all on set when/if the two DW movies happen. With your guns in the holsters that is.

Jim Glennon, who was the cinematographer for the majority of episodes of DEADWOOD, has died, I was informed by a fellow cast member tonight.  He was the son of Bert Glennon, who was the cinematographer on such classics as STAGECOACH, the original TEN COMMANDMENTS, RIO GRANDE, and the original HOUSE OF WAX.  Jim’s own credits include ABOUT SCHMIDT, ELECTION, CITIZEN RUTH, and CARNIVÁLE as director of photography, and as camera operator on ALTERED STATES, THE CONVERSATION, ORDINARY PEOPLE, and TRUE CONFESSIONS.  He was the location DP on RETURN OF THE JEDI.

More importantly, he was an absolutely splendid human being, one of the truest gentlemen it has been my pleasure to know in this business.  He was kind, funny, vastly encouraging, and unfailingly upbeat.  In the four years since I began work on DEADWOOD, I never once recall seeing him without a smile, and he rarely let a take go by without a compliment to someone involved.

There’s nothing wrong with Hollywood that a dozen Jim Glennons wouldn’t cure.

RIP, my friend.

and David Newland sends sad news of Tommy Michell:

To The DeadwooD Gang: 

For all of you who remember Tommy Michell, from Deadwood. As of today October 17 the last word I had on him is that, after moving to Arizona to work on a ranch, he apparently got into a conflict with some roughs up at, or near Scottsdale some time before Saturday, and when he came in from the mountains Saturday he went to the hospital with some massive injuries to his face and head. At the hospital they took a look at him and air lifted him to Phoenix, there the doctors decided to operate.  During the opereation something went wrong. He is at the hospital, However he is brain dead. His brother, who lives in Arizona, signed the waver to take him off life support. As of yesterday evening his heart was still beating. Nancy, of Nancy s Tree Farm, here in Santa Clarita, who has been a friend of Tommy s for a long time informed me of the situation. I will pass on any further information as soon as I know anything.

H.R.H. Crown Prince Richard Buckley has been working as a casino dealer on Ocean’s 13 at the Warner Brothers Lot in Burbank for the past month. He, Stephen Weisbaum, and others have had a great time with the cast which includes Deadwood’s Michael Harney (Steve) as the Blackjack Pit Boss. And Elliot Gould, a fan of Richard’s father, introduced Buck to George Clooney which has made the experience a lot of fun.

Hey Everyone,

Hope you are all well. I have had a good time the last 6 weeks: first the team that I am on went to the Bonneville Salt Flats located in Utah, in the middle of August, and we got our driver in the 200MPH club and the 300MPH club. We went in the high 200’s in the gas class and then we ran on fuel at 325 MPH–not bad for a little 4cyl GM engine. George Poteet is our driver and is very well known in the hot rod circuit. Then on the 16th of September, my wife surprised me with a 60th birthday party with about 110 of my good friends - including Marilyn Monroe. I tried to take her home, but the wife said “no way,” so she got the final word. Then I returned to Bonneville at the end of September and we set a new international record with the car at 326MPH.  Also, Steve Fossett, the famous around the world hot air balloonist, flew in and took our car on three runs down the salt not to shabby either: first run at 229, second run at 256, and the last run at 298MPH. Not bad for the first time behind the wheel.

Good luck to all you guys and hope to see ya all soon,
Mark,,,,, Schitz..

The entire evening will be hosted by Malcolm Macdowell, star of “A Clockwork Orange.” Also at the event will be the Delorian from “Back to the Future.”

This red carpet event is taking place at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. This is the venue for the Emmys, Grammys, SAG Awards, American Music Awards and countless other top-name shows.

Friday night’s awards ceremony is the launch event of the Jules Verne Adventure Film Festival in Los Angeles. This is the first year that the festival is in Los Angeles.
