I believe he was a gaited Arabian or possibly a thoroughbred, anyway he was a beautiful horse.
Alexander 'Alec' Austen , played by the late Alan Ladd , appeared in the 1958 film "The Deep Six" .
Alan Ladd sent my Father a letter in 1956 about the gunbelt ( actually a 'concho'- belt, Native American made ) that he explained was purchased for him by his wife "Sue" as a gift. There were only 5 made of this style concho and my Father now owns one that it took me YEARS to rack down. There were (two) holsters used in the movie. Alan Ladd/s own and one that was used in some scenes and for publicity photo's/appearances. I tracked that one down too. There were two revolvers used. Alan Ladd's own ( which had the trigger removed and was 'set-up' to be 'fanned') where-in Ladd was able to draw the revolver quickly and 'sweep' the hammer back ( letting it fall ) thus firing. There was a 2nd revolver/replica with the trigger and missing the front site ( as was Ladd's ) to allow for no 'snagging' on the holster. The replica had a ( 2nd pair ) of hand carved ivory horsehead grips which were also Ladd's. In the letter, Ladd tells my father that "Miss Head ( the well known Edith Head/Costumer-designer ) was correct, and the costume ( actually one of 4 buckskin shirts, the hat, the holster ( one used in some scenes and promo photo's ) and gun ( the 2nd non-shooting replica w/horsehead grips ) had indeed been sent to the wax museum in England ( Madame Tussaud's ). My Father now has this costume, except for the buckskin pants and boots which were stored and lost many years ago.
As former head of Twentieth Century Fox, financing George Lucas Star Wars in 1977, Alan J. Ladd has founded in 1979 the production company The Ladd Company that financed Ridley Scotts Alien in 1979. After the huge financial success of Star Wars, Hollywood turned to Science Fiction, a genre long forgotten and doomed to the B-movie category. In this sense Blade Runner can be seen as the result of Alan Ladds personal interest triggerde by the initial success of Star Wars that lead to the revival of the genre in Hollywood in general.
I remember seeing an English celebrity on TV in an interview claiming he bought the outfit when he was in America for about $10,000 and had it in a glass case in the hallway of his home, He also said he could not wear it as it was too small .The only trouble is i cannot remember whom it was. Yours faithfully.
No......but Alan Ladd did....
I understand the guns( there were at least two) were specially made for Ladd for the film Shane, are in the safe keeping of the Ladd family.
Shane in the western book, and movie, is a man. He was portrayed by Alan Ladd in the film.
