Scott, donned red wig and white tights to double Maureen O'Hara, and taught Goldie Hawn how to talk like a Texan. He's dangled from a helicopter over the skyscrapers of Manhattan while clutching a damsel in distress, hung upside down from a fake blimp 200 feet over the Orange Bowl, and replicated one of the most famous scenes in movie history by climbing on a thundering team of horses to stop a runaway stagecoach. Cowboy Stuntman chronicles the life and achievements of this colorful Texan and Olympic gold medal winner who spent a half century as a Hollywood stuntman and actor, appearing in ten John Wayne movies and doubling for a long list of actors as diverse as Robert Culp, Michael Landon, Steve Martin, Strother Martin, Robert Redford, and Roy Rogers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67940575510751,"sku":"9781682831489","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/6iQ7Ht2z49781682831489.webp?v=1791409911"},{"product_id":"a-coachs-life-my-40-years-in-college-basketball-paperback","title":"A Coach's Life: My 40 Years in College Basketball - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor almost forty years, Dean Smith coached the University of North Carolina basketball team with unsurpassed success, having an impact both on the court and in the lives of countless young men.
