Picture of the Week

~James Coburn~

James Coburn was an American actor who appeared three times on Bonanza.
All three roles were bad guys--Pete Jessup in Truckee Strip, Ross Marquette in The Dark Gate,
and Elmer Trace in The Long Night.

Born in 1928, Coburn's career spanned 45 years until his death from a heart attack in 2002.
At the time of his death, he was at home listening to music and playing his flute.
He was 74.

He and Pernell Roberts had worked together before Bonanza
in Ride Lonesome (1959)
where their characters enjoyed a much more congenial relationship.
