(As a sid...I LOVE lists and much enjoyed your post! (As a side note, I think Dusty absolutely counts. She was one of the first 'western' heroines I ever saw in film -- and definitely the one that got me intrigued/starting to love them. ;D)<br /><br />And squeeeeeee...!!! I was scrolling through and couldn't believe my eyes when I got to your choice for heroine #1! And then I was reading through your summary and happened to think, "I wonder if she remembers our conversations about this last year? That'd be fun." <i>Then you actually linked over to my review!</i> Wowza. And awwww.... thank you so much for your kind words, dear!! ;)<br /><br />Also, I don't know if you're collecting links too, but here's my review post for this year: http://ladyofanorien.blogspot.com/2016/08/movie-review-westward-ho-wagons-1956.html<br /><br />Thank you so much again for hosting this! It's been a splendiferous week... I've really and truly heartily enjoyed it!!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-38040998423116233492016-08-03T20:27:54.105-04:002016-08-03T20:27:54.105-04:00I've seen just a few of these: Stagecoach, The...I've seen just a few of these: <i>Stagecoach, The Apple Dumpling Gang,</i> and <i>The War Wagon</i> (haven't seen that one in years!), but good choices! I feel like the character of Dallas, like a lot of elements in <i>Stagecoach</i>, has been imitated so many times that it begins to be a little tiresome, but when you try to forget about that and go back and watch the movie just for itself, you appreciate how good it is.<br /><br />I'd have to think a while before doing a whole list of favorite heroines, but one who sticks in my mind is perhaps an unlikely pick: Clementine Carter from <i>My Darling Clementine</i>, which I <a href="http://thesecondsentence.blogspot.com/2015/07/my-darling-clementine-1946.html" rel="nofollow">reviewed for last year's Western Week</a>. She's just such a lovely combination of sweet and sensible.Elisabeth Grace Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073159989691222645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-13579589887708286042016-08-02T12:01:48.926-04:002016-08-02T12:01:48.926-04:00YAY YAY YAY!!

... YAY YAY YAY!! Let the glory and grandeur begin!!!<br /><br /> And happy birthday Rosie. :-)<br /><br /> Ahh, the heroines of western drama and how we love them. Clara, Dr. Mike, Sun Fu and Nola are some of my favorites too. And now I REALLY want to see 'Stagecoach' because Dallas sounds so fantastic. Great list, Olivia!Emma Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00215503772898813587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-56486516927216329662016-08-02T09:28:01.865-04:002016-08-02T09:28:01.865-04:00Thank you Miss Meg!!

How exciting!)<br /><br />Well, I know SOME of these, so yay. :D <br /><br />I have yet to see SBfSB! *sigh* We OWN it and everything... you can be sure I'll tell you ALL about it once I see it!<br /><br />Heh... I, err, didn't actually go for the movie "How the West Was Won". We saw half of it... but we decided not to finish it. (It just felt too weird and make-it-up-as-you-go-along for me.) So I didn't really get to know Lilith THAT well. But let me get off this topic - I can't be a Johnny Rain-cloud on such a festive occasion! ;D<br /><br />I saw 3/4 of one episode of Dr. Quinn while on holidays... plus I've seen Jane Seymour in numerous movies... but I guess that doesn't quiiite count. ;) It looks so good, that show! I wish it was more popular in Australia. *pouts*<br /><br />I WANT TO SEE FAR AND AWAY SSOOO BAAADLYYYY!!!<br /><br />Haven't seen Lonesome Dove... but Anjelica Houston? Haha! I only know her as the Ugly Step Mother. ;P<br /><br />Aaand I haven't seen Broken Trail. <br /><br />I don't know if I've seen Stagecoach or not. (Soary, but I noticed it has John Wayne in it and if it's got John Wayne in it... I tend to mix all his movies up. :P) <br /><br />Getting more excited about this week every day! :D<br /><br />~Miss MegAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-87310654829761038822016-08-01T22:56:07.375-04:002016-08-01T22:56:07.375-04:00Sadly Millie is the only one of these girls that I...Sadly Millie is the only one of these girls that I know.

Mmmmmmm, such...Let us gush about Dallas + Ringo!!! Mmmmmmm, such a caring, wonderful couple, both understanding what it means to forgive much and be forgiven much.<br /><br />I really love Dr. Mike too, and Dusty. Dusty was one of my heroines as a girl because she got to wear pants, drive a coach, shoot a rifle, and ride a horse, and I've always wanted to do all those things. (Well, I HAVe worn pants and ridden horses and fired rifles by now, but as a kid, not as much as I'd like.)<br /><br />Of the two Prescott sisters, I've always liked Eve better, but Lilith is a lot of fun too.<br /><br />Millie is tons of fun, and I've long been fascinated by Kate too -- she's got such an amazing presence, huh? I love that she gets a happy ending.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-56555786636928496272016-08-01T14:40:48.100-04:002016-08-01T14:40:48.100-04:00Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. <3 <3 <3Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. <3 <3 <3 Katie Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818413749107653398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-46145529485617454982016-08-01T14:10:17.576-04:002016-08-01T14:10:17.576-04:00"I am not going to cry, Mrs. Dr. dear, and th..."I am not going to cry, Mrs. Dr. dear, and that you may tie to," but I come darn near it when you say things like that!

I'm so happy to have gotten to know you this past year! You da best :)<br /><br />WESTERN CINEMA WEEK. I love that you guys are doing this again! I think I kind of missed out the first time around, not having seen many/(any?:P) Westerns, but now I can actually understand the references! AND YES. They’re terrific. It’s hard to explain, but there’s just such STRENGTH and CHARACTER to Westerns that set them apart. So real and . . . just sort of timeless. In a word, AWESOMESAUCE!!Rosie McCannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10756806467175885197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-30005667014348205672016-08-01T13:48:23.213-04:002016-08-01T13:48:23.213-04:00YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! *scatters confetti ever...YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! *scatters confetti everywhere* <br /><br />Happy birthday to my dearest, darlingest sister!!!
