Larry Buchanan

I wanted to be a director and producer and writer, but in the early '40's the union wouldn't let you get through the gates. You couldn't get on a crew, or even learn to direct.

I knew I wasn't a baseball writer. I was scared to death. I really was afraid to talk to players, and I didn't want to go into the press box because I thought I was faking it.

I knew, at a very young age, that I was supposed to be a gunfighter.

Weekends are a real luxury for me because I'm usually working.
