- DRUM BEAT starred Alan Ladd, Audrey Dalton and Charles Bronson as Modoc war chief Captain Jack in his breakout film role. It was the first time Bronson changed his birth name, from Buchinsky, to his new screen moniker. As Charles Bronson, he soon became an in demand actor in films and television.
DRUM BEAT (1954) also featured a nice part for young starlet Audrey Dalton. Dublin born, her London based Father was talking with actor Alan Ladd about horses when Ladd learned of her talent, recent roles in MY COUSIN RACHAEL and TITANIC, he hired her as the romantic lead in his production. Yes, his production. DRUM BEAT was produced by Ladd’s Jaguar Productions, written, and directed by Delmar Daves (BROKEN ARROW) and filmed in Daves’ favorite location, Sedona, Arizona.
Audrey was an in-demand guest star on some of the best and most remembered series on television. Many of them westerns! Audrey six times on WAGON TRAIN, portraying a wide variety of romantic leads with future Oscar winners Cliff Robertson and Robert Loggia. The series ran so long that Audrey worked with both wagon masters, Ward Bond and John McIntire.
Audrey joined producer Rob Word for an in-person interview in January 2022. This is the second of their 2-part conversation, and they discuss more than westerns. Audrey talks about what she learned when she co-starred with Barbara Stanwyck in TITANIC (1953) and later guest starred in two episodes of Stanwyck’s THE BIG VALLEY, one of them with Charles Bronson. - Zábava
Audrey Dalton is wonderful. When I met her in person she couldn’t have been kinder. It’s fascinating to hear stories about the actors she worked with. Thanks.
This longer format is most enjoyable, especially with someone with as many interesting remembrances as Audrey whose career spanned so much of film and television's golden age of westerns.
A most elegant and articulate lady.
What a lovely, lively woman with such an engaging presence. Her Irish accent almost came out a little at the end.
What a great character Captain Jack was. Bronson has always been a favorite especially in this movie and Magnificent
Seven. Alan Ladd was also one of my favorites and will always be Shane to me. It was very nice seeing Audrey and thankfully women last longer than men so that Rob still has somebody to interview. Great show again Rob.
Nailed it again, Rob. She was absolutely charming and delightful. Loved every story she shared.
a great interview.
Thanks, John.
I just love these interviews. She is such a lady.
She's a Delight and a National Treasure
I love learning more about performers like Audrey though your interviews. She seems like a very down to earth nice person.
Thanks for another interview with Ms Dalton. Considering the amount of TV work she did in the "Golden Age" of TV you would think The Television Academy would do an Interview with her. Bless both of you. I hope there's more :)
They say beauty is timeless and besides my Dear,, sweet, Mother, she is one such example.
Loved Bronson and continue to support you and your fantastic channels ✔️
Thanks, William. Sure glad you’re in our Posse!

Have a great and safe day Sir
Rob, what an awesome lady, Audrey Dalton exudes class and exemplifies what was great about the classic stars of yesterday! I look forward to seeing her again! Thanks for sharing and as always thanks for all your hard work!💫
Wonderful interview. Audrey was interesting and provided great detail on the many stars from long ago. I feel nostalgic for the many talented men and women in film and tv during that remarkable period.
All great movies, Most I saw on the Late Show at night in the late 60's and 70's as a kid 💖
Fascinating interview.
Charles Bronson was a great actor. I still have a 16mm print of You're In The Navy Now (1951) starring Gary Cooper with an uncredited Charles Buchinsky. It's about the U.S.S. Teakettle a sub chaser with an experimental engine. This was Bronson's first feature film role.
I saw it years ago, Charles. Time for me to revisit it. When’s the screening party?
Thank you mate, I`m going to check it out.
@@AWordonWesterns I have my films in storage. I will need to go check them. They were good when they went in and it is climate controlled.
You must have worked in show business and I think you are fortunate to have that film ,don’t ever sell them keep them for your family or someone close to you who is younger and truly will care for it!
I haven’t checked my things and they told me it’s that hope my stuff is fine and you definitely have to check them out!!
What a grand lady. Still as beautiful as ever!
Audrey enlivened so many films and TV episodes with her beauty and presence, and in such a broad range of genres. I'm so glad you had a follow-up interview with her as the first was both enjoyable and engrossing. You continue to outdo yourself with these splendid interviews Rob. Much appreciated!
Thank you, Mr. V
It is so refreshing to watch an interview with someone who has such a sharp mind and such a love for her craft and fellow actors. Once again, thank you for being the kind of interviewer who will allow your guests to speak without interrupting them.
Thanks, Tony.
As always a simply wonderful conversation with your guest. Audrey Dalton is a perfect guest for your style of interview, Very enjoyable to watch.
Thanks, Jim. Glad you enjoyed it!
She seems like a real sweetie! Thanks for another great program, Rob.
Love this Audrey Dalton still rules
My dad would have absolutely LOVED this channel. His knowledge of Westerns was encyclopeadic.
Growing up in the 1950's and watching all the Western shows with my Dad who was crazy about them all brings back such sweet nostalgia! Thanks Rob for these priceless interviews and fantastic memories!
Thanks, Kerri. They were always on in our household growing up, too. Thanks, Dad!
Another top interview Rob. Audrey has had a fascinating career.
Wow, this was great... Bronson is still one of my favorites...
I had a guidance counselor in school that told me, to help my reading, read anything, even a comic book , just read. the comic books help
I can tell you that she was an amazing woman. I didn’t know that she was such a great actress with such an amazing family history. I knew she had been in Hollywood but she never made a big deal if it. She and grandpa Rod were so humble and always so nice to me…glad to learn more about her
Love these interviews..love the old movies and Westerns..they dont make movies like those anymore..its sad.
Enjoyed this very much. Audrey Dalton's memory was very sharp and when she shared a story of someone you could tell it was an actual memory of hers. Lots of times someone will be telling a story and you just get the feeling that they were repeating something that they had heard or perceived over the years, I didn't get that feeling with this interview. Thanks for another great interview Rob!
Thanks, Eric. She was a treat for me too.
Audrey was a stunningly beautiful woman in those films. Saw her the other day in a b/w Gunsmoke with Burt Reynolds as Quint Asper.
Thanks, Wes. I posted Audrey talking about that episode in an earlier AWOW. Can’t believe you missed it.
@@AWordonWesterns Just found it!
Thank you for all of these great interviews. Having grown up primarily overseas and not much tv, I never saw a lot of these western shows until this past year. What fun it is to see so many stars make appearances on Wagon Train, Cheyenne, Big Valley, The Virginian and so many more.
Lovely actress and a beautiful person always very good on screen super interview🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
What a marvelous woman Audrey is! Outgoing and not a pretentious bone in her body, as I found out last November, Rob.
Audrey, is such a delightful woman to listen to. I’m sure she has so many more stories to tell, please interview her again, Rob.
I’m watching this late today, our daughter Alison was married yesterday evening. It was our anniversary Friday, and I turned 60 the week before.
Wow, Greg. Lots of reasons to celebrate. CONGRATULATIONS!
@@AWordonWesterns thank you, Rob.
Another fun and entertaining interview. Audrey is such a charming and interesting guest. Thanks, Rob.
I watched Titantic yesterday just because of her. And my growing appreciation of Barbara Stanwyck.
Miss Dalton cheated us by not being on television and in the movies every year.
Thank you for these great interviews .Charles Bronson was a great actor,and Audrey Dalton is nice .
You're very welcome, Pol. Glad you like them.
Great interview. The Robert Wagner Wagon Train was just on last week. I was sort of surprised to see how Ward Bond was much taller than him. Thank You Audrey and Thank You Rob.
Excellent interview , very good. Classy Lady and good questions I particularly liked Alan Ladd in westerns.thank you Rob.
What a wonderful, kind and gracious women. And what a sharp mind and retentive memory. I thoroughly enjoyed her stories of the many actors and others she worked with. A great interview!
I really appreciate her service to children.
Thanks again, lp. I forwarded your comment to Audrey. She was very appreciative of your kind words.
@@AWordonWesterns My pleasure. The least I can do to show my appreciation of Ms Dalton career of entertaining us. Btw, I really appreciated her service to our country as a Mother and working to help other children through her work in school libraries.
Rob, Your Interviews are so impressive and you are super knowledgeable. Wow You Have My Vote
Rob you are the greatest, you bring the best out of people! And Audrey Dalton has still got IT!!! She is marvelous!
Great interview, I can still remember Ms Dalton in episodes of Gunsmoke and Bonanza. She always gave a good, entertaining performance.
What a great lady and you can still see her beauty. I don't know how you come up with such interesting people, but I hope it doesn't stop.
Cheers,
Lee
Thanks, Lee. It's getting harder and harder but I'm gonna keep trying. Glad you enjoy the shows.
@@AWordonWesterns Yes we are running low on these great people.
Can’t say enough about the history in making these classics. Always fun to listen to the stories
Thanks, June
Listening to Audrey is a joy. Now, I gotta watch her movies. Titanic for sure & Bronson as Capt. Jack....before Capt. Jack Sparrow. Lol
Enjoy them, Bill. Thanks
She's a delightful woman. Talking about Robert Loggia reminded me of my childhood. I loved the show, "The C.A.T." - He was so good in that show and it only lasted one season.
I liked it a lot, too, Dave. So did Robert.
Thanks for the interview with Audrey Dalton discussing her career and the intersection with Charles Bronson another underappreciated actor and writer that I had no knowledge of. All these great stars and actors can be remembered thanks to your efforts.
Thank you Professor Word. You always provide us the best education of the Golden Era in the American Western Genre. Ms Dalton was a delightful interview.
Thanks, Gerard. There will be no Pop Quiz today.
Another Great episode !
Thanks Rob for another great interview!
Very good interview thanks Rob
Excellent, Rob.
Thanks so much for this. Miss Dalton is a very superb storyteller. Very interesting interview about the actors that she worked with.
Very charming interview with AUDREY DALTON...
Rob, I produced a documentary on DELMER DAVES and tried to get the city of Sedona and their arts council to pay tribute to him with a film festival... after all, Delmer really introduced the majestic Red Rocks and beautiful scenery to the world in the same way that John Ford did with Monument Valley.
Unfortunately, the city council couldn't care a less about Delmer or any HOLLYWOOD movies that brought in all the tourist dollars that they profit from.
But as Rob said, Delmer Dave was a fascinating writer/director/producer who never got the credit and attention he so richly deserved.
As Audrey commented Sedona looks totally different today from when she first knew it... if any place needed to become a national park to spare it from being way over-developed its Sedona!
What a shame the city didn’t support your tribute to Delmer. Obviously it was the perfect location.
Great interview Rob. Always conjures up great memories of these series of my youth. I remembered Ward Bond doing a Wagon Train commercial for kids to enter a contest to win a Palomino horse! ‘Be the envy of every boy in your neighborhood’, was part of the promo. Then all the interest that was generated on who would replace Ward Bond when he passed away. Then we see John McIntire take over, who I remembered as the no nonsense police commissioner in The Adphalt Jungle with that memorable switch board scene briefing reporters on who would answer those calls when a threatened citizen calls for help.
Another entertaining and informative interview with Audrey. I'm always impressed with your knowledge with the subject matter, Rob.
Thank you, dave.
I love these interviews, Rob! Audrey Dalton seems interesting and as beautiful as she was in the photos and clips.
Loved Charles Bronson and all his movies..ive seen quite a few..loved the ones where his wife played in them too. ❤
Thanks, Alice. I just watched the Bronsons, Charles & Jill, in Walter Hill's first film, HARD TIMES. Was reviewing it for the interview with HARD TIMES co-star Bruce Glover, the guest on next Sunday's A WORD ON WESTERNS.
Oh yeah? Would love to hear this interview..or see that movie.. Haven't seen this one yet. Thanks for sharing..
@@AliceTolson Enjoy!
I remember your video of Charles Dierkop!
thanks i remember her fondly from the tv show thriller and others
Thanks, MsB. Audrey worked a lot.
Incredible Rob
This is great 👍, you have excellent content from your library of interviews Sir. Westerns get 5 stars for me.
Great stories, Thank you!
Glad you like them, T. Thanks
Lovely to hear the stories as usual. Audrey is such a sweet lady, though I detect the strong Irish determination under that lovely face. I researched the Stanwyck/Wagner story, fascinating !!
I certainly enjoy your interviews with my childhood heroes and those who made those great movies' and television shows possible. Thank you so much and please keep em comin!
🤠 great great interview with a beautiful lady 👍
as always , brilliant . Thanks !!
It is still hard for me to believe you play fair? You get the best guests and get more from them every time you do a interview! Thank you!👍😊
Rob is a professional who let's his guests talk. If they stumble with a memory, Rob knows just the right words to gently lead them to yet another amazing story.
Thanks, guys. I, too, want to hear the stories!
There were a lot of actors who started acting under their real names and
later changed them one was Max Showalter who worked in films and TV
shows in the 50's and 60's as Casey Adams and in the 70's reverted back
to his real name and acted in many films and television shows now as
Max Showalter and there were others that did for their names to sound better.
Rob, this is such an excellent interview. Your outfit is superb, and I enjoy watching that fireplace in the background. This is a lineup of many of my favorite actors. Thank you very much, nice treat!
Thanks, Nicole.
She's such a sweet lady! Brings back memories. I also like her version of titanic better. I wish her lots of future good health and happiness ✌️♥️🙏🙏🙏 thanks Rob for another wonderful interview.✌️♥️
thanks, Dennis
what a great interview you did a great job and she is so great her personality is so beautiful I fell in love with her I never noticed her when I was young and you ask all the questions that I would have asked her what a great interview where you are I'm so impressed I was sitting here with a big smile on my face you made my day thank you
Thanks, Chucky. Keep smiling!
The more I follow current events .... the more important I think the people you interview are ...
Of course, as a world-renowned Titanic historian with two books to my name, a NG documentary and BBC radio presentation as "Molly Brown" I was thrilled to see this interview with Audrey Dalton. What you may not know is that a real Titanic survivor, Renee Harris, discovered Barbara Stanwyck and renamed her from Ruby Stevens. She also discovered Mort Sahl (A Star is Born). Another real Titanic survivor, Lucy, Lady Duff-Gordon, was an influential fashion designer who dressed many stars of silent films, and early talkies, and very good friends with Clifton Webb.
Thanks for the information, K.
What a delightful interview this was w/Audrey Dalton. So many greats she worked w/and knew. Alan Ladd in so many leading role actor, but my favorite The Proud Rebel w/his son David first together as acting, first role for David. Charles Bronson, Barbara Stanwyck… oh so many. Loved the comic books story. I first had introduction to the comic books in early ‘60’s when I “soda jerk” for my Aunt’s shop, she had a stack of fronts taken off that were “library loans”, what a delightful summer it was working, and my free time. Yes, it was a reading enrichment. Audrey was a wonderful character actor in so many roles. Always enjoyed wherever she showed up. Thanks so much Rob, you’re a master of interviewing!! 🤠
Sweet person.
Audrey still looks good
Excellent video! 👏👏👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Many thanks, Rob. I have always admired Audrey Dalton. Her second turn in one of my favorite The Big Valley episodes as the abused wife who aids Richard Long's Jarrod Barkley against her murderous family and town was superb. A fine actress. Many thanks again.
Thanks, Arline. I’m glad I’m able to throw the spotlight on her. Very talented.
@@AWordonWesterns She most definitely is. And she was RADA trained, like many of the best British actors. I have always loved everything that she did. Such intelligence, grace and beauty, all in one person. Looking forward to more from you about or with her.
When Hollywood had class
Rob...your great interview once again piqued my interest...it was cool when I discovered Ms Dalton also worked with western stars Audie Murphy (Whispering Smith) and Tim Holt (The Monster That Challenged the World)...great interview!
Hi Rob.....I had a "War Wagon" comic book back in the day...Wayne and Douglas!
Luckily I've still got mine, Mike. Also THE SEARCHERS, HORSE SOLDIERS, McLINTOCK! I think the art in THE SEARCHERS was the best of them. Tomorrow's AWOW guests are Pat Wayne and Chris Mitchum talking about BIG JAKE. I don't believe there was ever a comic book on that film.
@@AWordonWesterns ....Wow....maybe you could let us get a look at those Comic books sometime!....Looking forward to your AWOW show on Big Jake.....PS... I grew up in Moorpark, CA...as a kid in high school I painted Joel McCrea's barns on his ranch...saw Walter Brennan in town quite often. he lived very close to McCrea....1970s McCrea was such a nice man
Always interesting as usual rob. my favorite part was about robert vaughn and not as a government type but as a minister, i have to watch it.
Great interview Rob!
That's the first time I ever heard you all mention Elfego Baca. I don't know how I acquired them, but I have a set of DVDs for that show.
Did you enjoy the Elfego Baca shows, Kyrila?
It was one of the "Walt Disney Treasures" series. That's the one I have anyway.
💕👍
Bit before My Time,,,,,Audrey Dalton was a Beauty........Brunettes an me.........like Peas & carrots,,,,,,,,,Thanks, Rob Word,
I believe 'Titantic' was the 1st Major Movie used by 1 of the three networks in a Television series, "NBC's Saturday Night at the Movies."
It was a big deal back then when I watched the show.
Ladd at that time was 40 yuears old and becoming wealthy through good investments in real estate and other things. He was one of the richest actors in Hollywood when he died.
Another wonderful interview!
Rob can you tell me if there is somewhere I can find a list of the western festivals?
Thank you for continuing to preserve our precious western movie history 💙
Just Google Western Film Festivals and you should find information on 10 or 12.
Like Glenn Ford and Jimmy Stewart, Charles Bronson in his westerns both on tv and in film seemed to favor a hat that suited him particularly well. Flat on top, tight curl at the sides, you saw that hat, you knew Bronson was under it. Whereas John Wayne might favor a style for several films, for example his choice in the Ford Cavalry trilogy, then Hondo, Rio Bravo and even the non western Legend of the Lost. Then, with that hat no longer suiting him as his frame grew larger and he grew older, moving on quite logically to a bigger hat. All of them good choices and suiting him perfectly through the maturing stages of his career.
Whereas Eastwood ( a guy who understood as well as anyone the hat's importance as that one piece of apparel most crucial for an actor in any western that would define his character and so was absolutely critical to get right), other than on Rawhide changed styles often, but was canny enough to never pick a bad one.
That can't be said for Alan Ladd here however. A thing that's apparent in his appearance at the beginning of this episode. That hat is too small, too clean, and too1950s trilby lookin' to work for him. No idea if it was his choice or someone else's, but it just ain't workin' which meant he had to do some really powerful acting to overcome that look his headgear gave him, when a better choice in hats coulda said more about his character than reams and reams of dialog.
Nice observations, H. Thanks.
@@AWordonWesterns Thanks, Rob. Betcha Luster Bayless wouldna let Ladd wear that hat.
Obviously there are Bronson movies and every other kind.
Hi.
She Did kiss Michael Landon !!!
And Robert Horton, Robert Fuller, Robert Vaughn, Robert Wagner and Robert Loggia. Hey! I’m a Robert, too.
@@AWordonWesterns ROBERT, THERE'S WAS A WHOLE LOT OF SMOOCHING GOING ON !!!!
Alan died to young
Yes, he did, Seymour. 50 is way too young!
