This day in 1987: Willie Nelson’s film “Red Headed Stranger” premieres

This day in 1987, “Red Headed Stranger,” a movie by Willie Nelson, premiered in Austin with Morgan Fairchild, Floyd Tillman, and Darrell Royal in attendance.

In the film, a preacher (Nelson) from the East arrives in Montana to spread the gospel. When his wife (Fairchild) takes off with another man, he straps on his pistol and seeks vengeance. Then he must find a way to redeem himself.

The studio originally wanted Robert Redford to play the “Red Headed Stranger,” a role Nelson had envisioned for himself. It took two years, but Redford finally turned the part down.

Red Headed Stranger began production on April 29, 1985. The main set, a western town nicknamed “Willieville,” had been built over the previous two years across the road from Nelson’s golf course, thirty miles west of Austin, Texas. Most of the filming was done in “Willieville,” but nine other locations around Central Texas were also used. Production wrapped on June 14, 1985.

Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation Helps Shelters This Valentine’s Day

Miranda Lambert and her MuttNation Foundation did a lot to help animal shelters this Valentine’s Day, and so did her fans. The singer recently challenged fans to volunteer as part of her “Sign the Pledge to Volunteer” campaign, and her fans definitely came though.

Thousands of her fans volunteered their time at shelters, which allowed those shelters to be part of a drawing, with ten of them earning $1,000 grants. In addition, one fan, Andrea Shike of Wisconsin, won a grand prize of concert tickets and a meet-and-greet with Miranda.

“Shelter pets have the biggest hearts and I wanted to show them some extra love on Valentine’s Day,” Lambert shared. This year, over 2,000 MuttNation supporters joined the challenge, and I want to send out a huge ‘thank you’ to all of them.” She adds, “It’s amazing to have that kind of a response because shelters everywhere rely so heavily on support from their communities.”
