Read about early 1980s, a book with short bios of western movie actors accompanied by lists of the westerns they made. Some of the bios had a photo of the actor. Hardback, and had photo of Clint Eastwood on the cover, which I think had a lot of blue in it

This looks similar, has Clint Eastwood on the cover, and is the right time period, but it is a paperback: Great western stars
Thanks, I'll check this out! ☺️
It is possible that this is the one. It would be great if I could see some of the pages. I'm pretty sure my copy was a hardback but it was a long time ago. I'll reserve judgement for the moment, but thank you very much for this ☺️
Had a good look at this, and think it is not the one after all. What I remember are brief paragraphs about the western actors, followed by lists of their westerns. One actor that I know was included was George Montgomery, who isn't featured in this book. And it was a hardback with a picture of Clint Eastwood on the cover, with much blue sky in the image ☺️
Thank you! I've had a look at this but don't think this is the one. From what I remember, the book I'm looking for is similar to Great Western Stars by James Robert Parish, but I think lists more actors than that one, and not just the all-time greats. I think it had small black and white photos and lists of the westerns each actor appeared in. I remember the cover having a photo of Clint Eastwood on horseback ☺️
I have looked at this one, but do not think it's the one I remember, though it is similar. I think the one I'm after had more actors featured in it than the Parish book, and some of them were not what you could call 'the greats' (George Montgomery was featured).
I think this might be the one! Who is the author?
Juck checked - this is the one, many thanks from Yorkshire UK! 😃
Awesome, super glad to help out!
