The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
For anyone who hasn't seen the movie and loves Westerns this is the classic you must see. It is known as spaghetti western because they were made in Italy. The wonder of these films is the music in addition to the epic scenes. Final Duel
Here is the Swedish National Symphony playing the title song.
For an added treat here is the ending of For a Few Dollars More
Fistfull of Dollars great scene

Richard Crenna - actor long on the verge of Stardom
Richard Crenna - actor long on the verge of Stardom
Dead at 76
I see a young Crenna playing a student in the comedy series, Our Miss Brooks. It's playing today on the Decades Channel. Eve Arden is the Star and Crenna is the goofy student Walter Denton. It's hard to imagine the character he plays in this show when you compare it to his serious roles throughout much of the TV and Movie career that followed. He really did have a great range of skills. I still remember the exceptional part he played in Rambo.
Looking back to these early parts you realize that many actors have a long and varied list of acting efforts behind careers that we see only later. I don't remember him in this part but now see that he had to start somewhere and what better place than as comedic actor. Opposite Eve Arden he is a perfect balance to her caustic humor.

How to read more books
Read more books
If you want to ramp up your book reading I suggest adding at least one audio book per week to your effort. It's easily done while driving if you spend even modest amounts of time behind the wheel.
The rest of the effort is best spent as the writer of the article linked above suggests and that is just to read more by devoting more time to it.
He gave some practical tips for getting through standard category books and I have found myself taking a similar approach.

Kathie Browne
1930-2003
I would recognize her distinctive soft feminine voice anywhere as I think anyone familiar with her acting would.
Memory Alpha Wiki
Perry Mason - The Case of the Festive Felon - full cast
She plays a bad and greedy girl in this episode. She played the part of an cute airhead until Mason smoked her out and then she became a cynical and money focused cold blooded killer.
