TV’s Deadwood Stars Star for Hollywood Heritage

At the October 2-3 Hollywood Celebrity and Collector’s Show, three stars of HBO Television’s hit western Deadwood signed photos for Hollywood Heritage. Arranged through the show’s promoters and legendary supporters of Hollywood Heritage, Ray and Sharon Courts, the Emmy Award-winning show drew western fans from throughout the territory. Stars William Sanderson (also seen as “Sebastian the Toymaker” in Blade Runner), Paula Malcomson and Dayton Callie took a break from filming to greet their many fans. Funds raised went to the Hollywood Heritage Museum, where Hollywood’s first western feature, The Squaw Man, was filmed 81 years ago for The Jesse Lasky L. Feature Play Company.

A special thanks to Sharon Sanderson, who wrangled in costars (including her husband) and made the signing a success; and to Deadwood’s Consulting Producer A. C. Lyles. A.C. started his ongoing career at Paramount Studios in 1930, produced many westerns along the way, and continues to represent Paramount and Hollywood as only a living legend can.
