Ladies of the Western

<p> This work features interviews with 51 leading ladies who starred in B-westerns A-westerns and television westerns. Some were well-known and others were not but they all have fascinating stories to tell and they talk candidly about their careers and the many difficulties that went along with their jobs. Back then conditions were often severe locations were often harsh and pay was often minimal. The actresses were sometimes the only females on location and they had to provide their own wardrobe and do their own make-up as well as discourage the advances of over-affectionate co-stars. Despite these difficulties most of the women interviewed for this agree that they had fun. Claudia Barrett Virginia Carroll Francis Dee Lisa Gaye Marie Harmon Kathleen Hughes Linda Johnson Ruta Lee Colleen Miller Gigi Perreau Ann Rutherford Ruth Terry and June Vincent are among the 51 actresses interviewed.</p>
