Some of you already know about this, and his nomination was turned down again this year, but he is eligible for next year still. I'm waiting to hear back from the Hall of Great Western Performers PR person about a letter-writing campaign or phone calls or postcards or something we can do next year to get him in.
I'll update you all as soon as I know anything, but right now, we're looking at the selection committee meeting in a year and his induction (if he's finally chosen) in April of 2016.

Let's hope they take a good look at all the Westerns Brian was in and decide to induct him the next time they vote.

Keep us posted. I can't believe he wasn't in before a lot of actors already selected. I have been collecting all his movies and watching them over and over. Today's shows just don't excite me. I watch Brian's movies and am trying to get my grand-kids to look at them too. THESE ARE THE REAL SHOWS. Some movies I have not been able to locate, but still requesting and watching for them to come on DVD/VHS. I am hoping Victoria's book on BRIAN was coming out soon -- it's being published now.
LET ME KNOW HOW TO HELP WHEN TIME COMES!

I have been told that they don't want any letter campaigns or phone calls, and that he is a "strong candidate". But after selecting Katharine Ross this year because she was in "Butch Cassidy", I'm not sure it's all that great an honor after all. Still, I'll let you know when I hear next April if he's finally been selected or not.

I have just now sent an email to the "Hall of Great Western Performers", withdrawing Brian Keith's name from consideration. These people are awful! They have been described by someone who lives in Norman as "snooty" and that's exactly what I have encountered in the last 4 years. They don't reply to emails, don't advise people that they've chosen someone else, don't want to know about qualifications -- it's all one big club, I guess and we're not part of their little clique. If any of you want to get in touch with them, let me know and I'll give you their contact info, but I think it's just pointless. Besides, it's really not that big a deal if Katharine Ross got picked for one film and two TV movies, now is it?
