Over 80 Western Stars' Profiles by Award-Winning Writer C. Courtney Joyner in WESTERN PORTRAITS AWOW

Photographing Western film and TV performers in the style of Edward S. Curtis was a passion project for film director Steve Carver (LONE WOLF McQUADE). Steve collaborated with prolific writer/producer C. Courtney Joyner on his proposed tribute book to Western performers. The pair complemented each other well, and their unique portraits combined with in-depth interviews resulted in the highly sought-after collectible, WESTERN PORTRAITS.

In November 2019, an SRO book launch took place at the Autry Museum. Steve and Court were joined on stage by over 30 stars for a group photograph. This was followed by an interview with Rob Word for A WORD ON WESTERNS and an afternoon filled with a book signing and congratulations.

Just a few months later, the COVID pandemic began. On January 8, 2021, Steve Carver sadly passed away from complications of the virus at the age of 75. Fortunately, Steve had managed to complete his decades-long work on the book and had the chance to appreciate the warm response and praise the book received.

This newly edited AWOW episode is a tribute to Steve and to Courtney, whose birthday is on June 25th - the day this episode was released on YouTube.

Happy birthday, Court. Rest in Peace, Steve.
