Mescal Movie Set

 

Today, Ginny and I went to the Mescal Movie Set outside of Bensen, AZ, where they were commemorating the 50th-year release of the 1972 movie, The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, filmed there with a special event that includes a Meet and Greets with Steve "Bunker" deFrance, who was Paul Newman's stand-in in the movie and with Francesca Jarvis who was one of the hookers in the movie. Bunker is a veteran actor who appeared in numerous western films, including Bonanza, Gunsmoke, and over 50 episodes of The High Chaparral. Jarvis was one of the nuns in The Lilies of the Field with Sydney Poitier.
