Farnsworth, Richard

Farnsworth, Richard
▪ 2001

      American actor and film stuntman (b. Sept. 1, 1920, Los Angeles, Calif.—d. Oct. 6, 2000, Lincoln, N.M.), was twice nominated for an Academy Award. Known mostly for his roles in westerns, Farnsworth brought a simple honesty to the characters he portrayed. He began his film career as a horse-riding stuntman in 1937. His first substantial movie role came in Comes a Horseman (1978). It landed him an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor and his first starring role in The Grey Fox (1982). At age 79, he became the oldest best actor nominee for his role in The Straight Story (1999).
