Judge Roy Bean: The only law west of the Pecos
I can’t do his story justice but if you want to read more about him:
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Bean
The town saloon is named after Lillie Langtry who was a well know singer and actress from the 1890’s. Roy Bean was obsessed with her
In 1971 Hollywood made a movie loosely based on Roy Bean’s life. Paul Newman played the judge. The movie was directed by John Huston and had a stellar cast: Jacqueline Bisset, Tab Hunter, John Huston, Stacy Keach, Roddy McDowall, Anthony Perkins, Victoria Principal, Anthony Zerbe and Ava Gardner. Full disclosure, I have not seen the movie.
