Judith, the talented Diana Sands was well regarded in the show business community, and she was very generous. She was originally cast in the title role for the film, "Claudine" (1974), but her cancer forced her to drop out. She then suggested her friend, Diahann Carroll as her replacement who went on to get an Oscar nomination for the role. Bless her.

The camera captures the scenic beauty of the Colorado mountains as Slim Pickens and Van Heflin ride the "Stagecoach" in 1966
It looks like Slim Pickens is doing his own driving too. I can't see reins under the seat with a hidden driver.
Just like Andy Devones's famous comeback at John Ford when Ford statted making cracks that he should have hired Ward Bond for the role.
You hired me because Ward Bond Can't drive a six-up
