Old Tucson Studios Hollywood in the Desert (rare 1993)

Stumbled on this rare video a while back. It's a souvenir video they sold back in 1993 before the fire of 1995. The 1997 souvenir video would feature Rex Allen and an update concerning the fire. But this one abides to no such thing and features Don Collier and a host of original cast members of the era including Jon Mincks!
Join us, will ya, as we look back into the past and take an exciting look into Old Tucson Studios Famous Movie Location!!!

mogges1 you must mean David Kantner. Last I knew he was doing shows out at Traildust Town, I think he retired though.

@betonarchese : Last I saw of him was Dillinger days 2010...

@mogges1 : Yes and no: Plans were made to reopen after the fire, but the new buildings built had nothing to do with Old Tucson western movie history or culture. What became of Old Tucson in 1997 was, basically, a large western themed amusement park. Since then, Old Tucson has shifted focus towards Nightfall since it tends to bring in more crowds...
