Well, I learned stuff that I didn't have a clue about, and some stuff I knew, but didn't know I knew. I didn't know the name Rod Cameron, and I didn't know know he was a Canadian. His face and his presence that I remembered. But as you were showing stills and posters, I was going I've seen that and I remember that scene. Tony Cameron's remembrances were just so straight forward and matter of fact, that you got a real feel for what his and that life was like. There weren't many boys who wouldn't remember Jill St. John in a bikini, but most of us only experienced it on a screen and not in real life. As always a great episode, that I enjoyed viewing.

I always enjoy your shows. I grew up watching these people on television and in the movies. I grew up near a small town, I lived in an even smaller town. When we finally got television stations in the area, I watched the old movies and television shows. These shows and actors were always on the Saturday matinees. Lots of B westerns and serials. You are helping me remember my childhood.

Thank you Rob, this was a very informative and interesting interview. Maybe some more like this one

ROD CAMERON with his deep commanding voice sure made a good many westerns, sadly not so much the "A" kind though, but he was not alone in that regard. It's good to hear his son relate his experiences on his father's sets, and its good that he has such a great sense of humor about it, especially when you Rob surprised him with the mother and mother in-law marriages. Tony also has the right attitude talking about his Dad and the alcoholism as well as all the movies that he made long before he was born. He certainly was brought up right, I think he should gather up his stories for a book on his father because he has great recall and knows how to engage your interest. THE BOUNTY KILLER and REQUIM FOR A GUNFIGHTER were the kind of cheap-n-cheerful oaters that the legendary A.C. Lyles used to produce over at Paramount, getting all the old western heroes together and giving them work. It's a pity the scripts were so poor and didn't give the old stars a bit more dignity in their roles. ROD CAMERON's career was certainly diverse and without doubt, he worked in HOLLYWOOD when it really had class!

THANK YOU, Tony... it's not easy being a child of a movie star and believe me I came across quite a few having spent 40 years working in HOLLYWOOD doing various jobs from studio-driver to writer and studio historian. I gave special tours of movie location and movie ranches, knew many of the stunt men and crew who's names I noticed on the credits growing up. Like I mentioned you really should write a book even if you have to self-publish, I wrote so many articles on HOLLYWOOD over the years, and I've always included the Good, Bad and the Ugly of any history, otherwise what's the point of sugar-coating it, we're lied too enough already! So many actors, especially in 'B' movies and westerns had an alcohol problem, even the big stars like Gene Autry, Roy Rogers and the Duke... with stuntmen it helped ease the pain from all those horse-falls and alike. It also eased the disappointments in so many careers in this feast or famine business! Again, keep that honest sense of humor Tony, it'll serve you well in life!@@TonyCameron-dg4eh

Was always excited to know (even now) that one of his shows or movies was coming on.

Tony Nailed it here 15:55 With what made this entertainment Era so popular with us kids? We got to see Good triumph over Bad 99.9% of the time, and that boosted our spirits to the moon & beyond.

Rod Cameron, like Audie Murphy, was never given the quality scripts that they both should have had. Even in the early years you could see he had the charisma and screen presence. He should have been in some higher quality westerns in later years. He was a favourite of mine right from those early B westerns.

I believe what Tony said about Salvation Army. My own Mom told me that my Dad had told her that the Salvation Army didn't charge the G. I. Men for things they received from their homes like the Red Cross did. So I guess he would have preferred to donate to the Salvation Army too, over Red Cross.

Some more good stories ... Yvonne De Carlo being from Vancouver British Columbia Canada and Rod Cameron from Calgary Alberta Canada .. I could imagine they hit it off well ... in Canadian terms they were not so far apart only a 30 minute plane trip or an 11 hour drive ...

Such a shame “Requiem for a Gunfighter” can’t be found anywhere, psychically or online. At least, as far as I know. Not only is it the companion piece to “The Bounty Killer,” (an underrated 60s B-Western), and not only is it one of the final films of Serial king Spencer Gordon Bennett, it’s also the final film role for another Western star, Tim McCoy.

Thanks for watching the show ! I was visiting a girl I met in spring training who was a swimmer at Brenau and dad was on his way to NC to film a movie . He was asked to do a 3 day weekend television show and loved the lake and sailing and bought a home since the industry was moving south .

In Rod's day almost all the western stars were tall. Pretty much a requirement in fact. Jim Arness 6'7", Clint Walker 6'6", Chuck Connors and Fess Parker at 6'5" making John Wayne and Rod at just 6'4" almost a pair uh runts. The most anomalous exception to that being Alan Ladd of course who had to stand on a box and a pair of phone books just to reach 5'10". Yeah, Rod is sorta well known for having married his mother in-law, and Tony's illusidating on that... his grandma being his step mom was sorta funny and sweet at the same time. That screen shot of those comic books titled, "Rod Cameron Western" got me curious to do some research. Turns out Fawcett published 20 issues featuring a fictionalized version of Rod published in England of all places, sold for a dime. And Rod years later at a film convention reflecting on that mentioned how the company used to send him several issues of the comic each month, and thinking not much of it how he'd just give 'em away to the neighborhood kids. Then years later seeing some of those issues one or two of the rarer ones being sold by dealers for hundreds of dollars each.
