Have Gun, will travel

Rankin/Bass' The Last Dinosaur arrives!

This book arrived today from my friend B Harrison Smith!  I wrote the foreword and provided many of the images 😁 One of Rankin/Bass Productions' ABC Friday night movies.  You can buy the book on Amazon right here: Making The Last Dinosaur https://a.co/d/gDR4CrV

I am helping with a book project on Rankin/Bass' The Last Dinosaur. I will be writing the Foreword. Arthur hired Richard for three of Boone’s last films. I know he admired Boone, like I do and was also trying to help him, at the same time. #RichardBoone #Medic #Havegunwilltravel #therichardbooneshow

I am working on a project with Rankin/Bass' The Last Dinosaur currently! Looks like it will be a lot of fun!

Paladin meets Rankin/Bass Productions

Paladin meets Rankin/Bass Productions! I was just going through a giant stack of Rankin/Bass' The Last Dinosaur material (enough for an entire giant book). Arthur Rankin developed a great friendship with Richard Boone and he appeared in three Rankin/Bass Productions, including his very last film appearance in Rankin/Bass' The Bushido Blade. After watching Have Gun, Will Travel, I can see what Arthur recognized in Boone's talent. I appeared at a show with Joan Van Arc a few years back and I tried to give her some of this material (Some very cool slides and photos from the filming) and her agent had no interest. I thought her fans might be interested in an autograph photo from the film, as she had none. C. 2012 Miser Bros Press/Rick Goldschmidt Archives #Thelastdinosaur #rankinbassproductions #Richardboone

I love that Richard Boone starred in a few Rankin/Bass films!  Very popular with the fans too!  In fact his last movie was Rankin/Bass' The Bushido Blade and he was the voice of Smaug in The Hobbit.
