He was in talks to come to Omaha for a fund raiser that would show 'The Magnificent Seven'. It didn't happen. When "The Misfits" had a fund raiser, it didn't match up with his schedule: http://www.omahafilmevent.com/past/misfits.htm

I would have wanted an autograph from 'How the West Was Won', 'Tough Guys", 'The Magnificent Seven', and 'The Moon-Spinners".
