HOLLYWOOD (AP).-Ac-
tor James Coburn says the
toughest thing an actor has
to overcome in Hollywood is
living down tags placed on
him by over-zealous pro-
ducers and casting executives.
When made my first
movie, someone called me a
young Gary Cooper" tn e
lanKs actor says. That was
just plain ridiculous. just as
ridiculous as calling David
Jansen a young Clark Gable
or Carolyn Jones a young
Bette Davis. Fans resent this
and ! don't blame them. "
Coburn also would like to
see the hero and villain
categories abolished in
Hollywood.
When l near a producer
or a casting director say so
and so is a great heavy, 1
want to shout You're wrong!
So and so is a great actor" Z"
IF an actor can play a
convincing heavy, he can
play a convincing hero"
Coburn said it took him
years to lose the Cooper tag
and now, because of a few
gun singing roles. he's fight
ing to lose the heavy tag.
