James Stacy

James Stacy's story haunts me more than most actors I write about. A handsome Los Angeles-born lead riding high on the western Lancer, then in 1973 a drunk driver took his left leg, his left arm, and his girlfriend's life in a single instant. Most people would have vanished. What I respect is that he kept reaching back toward the work, even as a producer, refusing to let the accident be the final word. To me he embodies the brutal gap between on-screen glamour and off-screen fate, and the stubborn flame that keeps performers tethered to their craft. I won't forget his resilience.
