“True Grit” #35 8/23/1969

Nominated for a Best Song Oscar, Glen Campbell lost out to a B.J. Thomas song from a flick about two guys named Butch and Sundance. Glen had a supporting role in “True Grit” alongside John Wayne. Elvis was considered for that part but Col. Parker wanted him to get top billing over Wayne and co-star Kim Darby. Uhhh, no. Didn’t happen. Acting was a big step in Glen’s career, showing some versatility. Clip is from Johnny Cash’s TV show.
