Just
to set the record straight, I do just fine on horseback! Ask Mark who has
been giving him horseback-riding lessons for the past month or so -- me,
that's who! He gives me ice-skating lessons (cos he's a great ice-skater)
and I help him onto his horse. He's learning how now, and soon he'll be
riding as well as I do!
I've known Mark for
over a year and a half. He's a groovy guy and has the wildest sense of
humor on the High Chaparral set. I was the last "regular"
to be signed, so I felt like an outsider when I arrived -- but Mark made me feel
right at home.
Mark is a serious
actor. He really throws himself into his role as "Billy
Blue." He's a multi-talented guy -- he can do anything!
His artwork knocks me out, as well as his impressions of famous people.
You should hear him talk like Gabby Hayes -- it's a riot! We were talking
the other day about putting an act together. He'll do Gabby and I'll do
Dale Robertson. It'll be just perfect for the Ed Sullivan Show,
don'tcha think? We'll call ourselves Darrow and Slade, of course!
