| by Jim Cotton A nice article updating Claude's business and whereabouts appeared in Wednesday's , the 17th, edition of this news service. Mentioned are his excecutive travel service and continuing connections to the Nashville area and his alma mater, Vanderbilt University, there. Several nice photographs with Gregory Peck, Intruder director Clarence Brown, and one showing him with his father who joined MGM as an accountant during Claude's early film career. One can likely reach the site by googling The Tennessean.com Comment on this... | ||||

| by Jim Cotton The premiere of The Yearling was held December 16, 1946. I don't remember it at age five but wonder if anyone recalls seeing it then or shortly thereafter. Sixty years old and still highly regarded. It speaks well for the craftsmanship that went into this movie. Recently, Burt Reynolds chose it as "a keeper" as Robert Osbourne's guest programmer on TCM. Reynolds cited the lush photography and fidelity to that geography of Florida as one reason. He also mentioned the remarkable animal sequences and overall, the compelling emotion and message imparted by the storyline. Comment on this... |

| by Jim Cotton Yesterday, the passing of Robert Sterling was announced. He died of natural causes at age 88 at his home in Brentwood, CA. He held the starring role as Clay Phillips in the RKO release of "Roughshod", 1949. A western that featured Claude as his younger brother, Steve. Major cast members included Myrna Dell, Jeff Donnell, Gloria Grahame, Marsha Hyer, and John Ireland. "Roughshod" remains as one of my favorites of Claude's films. When I first saw it, I was age eight at the time and deeply impressed by his role that required riding saddle horses, driving teams, and dueling with bad guy John Ireland and his companions. The light touch from Gloria Grahame teaching Claude "his letters" provided a nice touch of humor, unique for western sreenplays of the time. I enjoyed the "Topper" television series that featured Sterling and Ann Jeffries. They were --for me at the time-- the ultimate in cool sophistication. Would like to see some of those episodes again. Anyone know if such are being aired on TVLand or ? I thought Sterling was a bit miscast on "Roughshod" but he did a decent job. Glenn Ford was just a couple years older than Sterling and would have been a more "believable cowboy" perhaps. Ford was a "natural" in the saddle. Harry Carey, Jr. could have carried the role. Ben Johnson comes to mind. As mentioned earlier, I wish James Stewart and Claude had been paired but for this role, there would have likely been a stretch, agewise. Comment on this... |

| by Beverly T Claude Lives in Kentfield, Ca. His daughter Vanessa is married to Billy Getty and is featured in the San Francisco Chronicle quite often. If you check out the Lark Theatre in Larkspur, CA you will see that in the next week or so he is going to be doing a fundraiser for the Theatre, plus a question and answer session following the film, The Yearling.

| by Megumi Mashio I was so happy to read what you wrote about Mr.Claude Jarman Jr. whom I 'd been a fan since I saw his films as a very young junior High School girl. Sorry to say I missed the films " Intruder in Dust ", "Out Riders" which must be very nice films. Because they were not imported in Japan. On Web Sites I found the informations about the later activities by Mr. Claude Jarman Jr. that he had taken in San Francisco City. Thanks Mr. Jim Cotton for your comment. Sincerely Megumi Mashio Comment on this... | ||||

| by Robert Lundquist During the summer of 1950 Claude Jarman Jr. was in Kanab, Utah filming "The Out Riders". He wa about 3 years younger than I. He had quite alot of time when he wasn't needed on the set so Claude, Buddy Heaton and I spent many hour together. His father, Claude Jarman, Senior was happy for him to have friends to pal around with and we had some fun times. The community was producing a musical program that summer and Claude enjoyed watching our rehearsals. Claude had a younger sister and when we asked Claude, Sr. if he was going to let the young lady get involved in the movie world, se said, "Abaolutely not". I wouldn't put any young worman into this environment." Claude, Jr. was really a clean-cut fine young man. Kanab, Utah was a great place in the 50's. Many westerns were filmed there and we all worked as "extras" in many of those films. Comment on this... | |||||||||

| by Jim Cotton Anyone having information or memorabilia about this child star? I'd be interested and you can reach me at the above e-mail or 652 Treece Gulch, Stevensville, MT 59870. Claude's last film appearance was in 1978, cast among those featured in the 1978 television series, Centennial. Of course, he's best remembered as Jody in The Yearling, 1946. He was always a hero for me, being slightly older, acting in movies, and best of all, appearing in Westerns which I thought--back in the late 1940s and early Fifties--was surely Heaven on earth. He appeared in a Lassie film, The Sun Comes Up and portrayed Chick Mallison in the film version of Faulkner's Intruder in the Dust, a film treating bigotry on the order of To Kill a Mockingbird. Westerns included Roughshod, The Outriders, Rio Grande, Hangman's Knot and Disney's The Great Locomotive Chase, 1956. He had roles in High Barbaree with Van Johnson and June Allyson, Inside Straight with David Brian, and Fair Wind to Java with Fred MacMurray. If you ever see him in these films, I'd like hear about it or learn where one might view or purchase a DVD. I have Rio Grande, Intruder in the Dust, Hangman's Knot, The Sun Comes Up, Locomotive Chase, and of course, The Yearling. The others are hard to find or not released on VHS or DVD. Thanks for any information. I'd like to hear from any fans out there. jim cotton Comment on this... |
