and stuff in the kitchen...
:34:02
and I heard something
in the back spare bedroom.

:34:05
I thought, "What is that?"
:34:07
I went to investigate, and I opened
the door, and do you know what I found?

:34:11
There was Jimmy Dean
on one of the twin beds.

:34:13
The window was up. It was one of those
up and down windows...

:34:16
the old-fashioned kind.
:34:18
He had put the window up,
and come in the window...

:34:22
was laying on the twin bed
with his hands behind his head...

:34:26
with a hat all slouched down
in front of him.

:34:30
I said, "What in the world are you doing?"
:34:33
He said, "I wanted to wait
until everybody left so I could talk to you."

:34:37
I said, "Heavens to Betsy,
you didn't have to do that.

:34:41
"From now on, sonny boy, you come in
the front door like everybody else."

:34:45
He said, "No, I think I like it this way."
:34:47
I said, "Really?"
:34:49
I went into the other room
and got a hammer and nails.

:34:52
I came and I hammered
the two windows in that room shut.

:34:55
I said, "You come in the front door,
or you don't come at all."

:34:58
My father was a man of the West,
raised in San Francisco.

:35:02
His parents had been actors
in the theater at the turn of the century.

:35:05
As a young man,
he went out into Montana and Utah...

:35:10
at first as a camera loader,
and then an assistant cameraman...

:35:13
and he actually lived
with Westerners, cowboys...

:35:17
who still dated back to that period.
:35:21
He always had
a great feeling for the West.

:35:25
In his films,
he went to tremendous lengths...

:35:29
for authenticity.
:35:31
That the clothes looked real.
He never liked to call....

:35:35
They refer to the costume department.
He always called them clothes.

:35:39
If you look at James Dean, Jett Rink...
:35:44
the clothes he wears,
they're clothes he's lived in.

:35:48
The sweat and the band of the hat...
:35:52
and the dirt.
:35:55
Dad would always say
that a man like this only has two shirts.

:35:59
So those shirts would be worn...
