Comes a Horseman

admin — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 02:37:32 +0000

OMG! The credits for Comes a Horseman said special thanks to the Dept of
Interior and Coconino Forest in Arizona…. but I just did another
search and found, after all these years…. you filmed it in the Wet
Valley?
The reason I did the search is because the scenery looked like the
Sangre De Cristos… I LIVED IN WESTCLIFF in the early 1970′s.
Now I know why the cinematography was so special to me… that was MY
Wet Valley… my mom still lives in Pueblo!!
I KNEW that scenery was not Arizona!! I should have dug deeper!
anyway…. love you love you love you..
And Richard Farnsworth deserved an Oscar for his performance in that
film as well. — Carol

Jane: YES. WESTCLIFF!!! AND GUESS WHAT? PART OF “CAT BALLOU” WAS FILMED
OUTSIDE OF WESTCLIFF, TOO.

I just finished a Jane Fonda marathon. I was sick and began watching old
films. I’ve probably seen Comes a Horseman 10 times.
To me, it was your best picture. I know that sounds strange because it
never received the recognition of your other films.
I googled the website for the film to find out where it was filmed. I
never would have suspected the mountains of Arizona. The direction was
spectacular.
You once commented on how Bette Davis kept everything internal.. in
films like Jezebel and Now Voyager…
Well, make no mistake – your performance opposite Caan was one of your
best. The scene at the kitchen window, and again when you confessed your
teenage indiscretion … is one for the history books.
I’ve said this over the years to other film lovers… but I’m
continually shocked at how many have never heard of the film.
What a spectacular bit of acting my dear. Simply spectacular. You are
spectacular. I’m a 61 year old grandma… and I was just like you in the
Vietnam days… don’t let em get you down.
You are the best. One in a generation. — Carol

Jane: I LOVE “COMES A HORSEMAN” TOO. LOVED THE EXPERIENCE FILMING IT OUTSIDE
WESTCLIFF. LOVE TO RIDE AND THAT GAVE ME A CHANCE TO SHOW OFF MY SKILLS.
I LEARNED TO ROPE FOR THAT (AND CASTRATE).

Being Jane

Jane — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 03:49:33 +0000

Question: My question is two fold (yes, I am greedy for this opportunity)
1. What are the 3 main ways someone can feel/seem young as they age?
2. What did you wish you knew at 47 years old that you now know? (my age, of course)
Thank you for time and talent!
From: Debra Oliver

Answer: Feel young and you will seem young. So much comes from the inside out but staying healthy and fit is critical too. I found that the forties were the toughest for me. It got easier later on, after 60. It just can get better and better if you develop an inner life, good friends who accept you but also challenge you to grow and deepen.

ALS

Jane — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 03:45:55 +0000

Question: Are you planning on bringing awareness to the disease ALS through your play? I heard on The View this morning you played someone health challenged. That they didn’t want to give anything away. This is an amazing opportunity to educate people by letting them hear the character has ALS. They can google or educate as they wish. As a person with ALS I was so disappointed. 140 years, no cure, no cause, no treatment. Please consider bring awareness to this awful disease. ALS Matters to me. ALSMatters.org
From: Sharon Caruthers

Answer: Once we open there will be more chance to openly talk about ALS. Right now we are not focusing on this terrible disease as part of our play.

From: Michael Meyer

Question: How’s your spiritual life going? Been meaning to read your book. You’ve always fascinated me. Crossed paths a couple of times. I was a photographer in SF and you had the shag hair …at a rally. Then years later in LA movie line. I moved to Atlanta from Orange County CA recently. Having 2nd thoughts.. How did you make the adjustment? Hope you feel better. You sound blessed. Be nice to have a spiritual conversation with you.

Answer: My spiritual life is going fine, thank you. Moving to Atlanta 18 years ago helped me discover that part of my life but I continue to study and explore my Christian faith, including thru Zen Buddhism.
