About a week ago I found out about the death of Paul Harper.
The last time he was seen in public was at The Wild Bunch 40th aniversary screening in LA, he went home and died the next day the 13th of November 2009 in Los Angeles, he was 76 years old. His full name was Paul William Harper.

Paul was born in Jackson, Tennessee, December 8, 1933, He and his family moved to Little Rock, Arkansas when Paul was one month old, then to Abilene, Texas where he graduated from Abilene High School. Paul's abiding interest was drama and he was a student of the highly respected Ernest Sublett while attending Abilene, High.

Just the night before his death, his son David accompanied Paul to the 40th anniversary of the motion picture "The Wild Bunch." Paul and Ernest Borgnine, on of Paul's oldest and best friends were two of the four actors in the picture still living. His last night could not have been more perfect. He dressed in his finest western attire and was in his element with many of his motion picture friends. Paul got to walk the red carpet once more as the huge search lights lit he sky for his prestigious event. He was recognized for his achievement in "The Wild Bunch" which many say is the greatest western movie ever produced. Paul signed autographs until he became to tired to sign any more.
