The great Warren Oates was BOTD in 1928 and far too soon of hard living in 1982 at the age of 53. Peckinpah's "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia" (1974), in which he starred, is the ultimate incarnation of his screen persona

There's a vintage shop about an hour away from me named after Warren Oates.

More importantly, they have a framed poster of my Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia drawing hanging there.

What an honor 🙏
