Are TV mini-series allowed? If so, I can’t help but be greedy trot out another personal favorite, and arguably the best Western ever…

Lonesome Dove

And D.B. Sweeney’s character rode a VERY NICE buckskin in the film, which is, of course, another personal favorite…

If mini-series are allowed, then I will respond with **Diane Lane**.

If not, then please disregard this answer…

FWIW, we’ve never allowed TV first movies before, including mini-series.

Looks like I’ve gotta go with Renée Zellweger, as much as I wish it were otherwise.

Sorry to lead us astray earlier. I suppose I can find solace in the fact that _Lonesome Dove_ wouldn’t have been what it was if they’d tried to cram it into a feature film.

[QUOTE=honeydewgrrl]  
Looks like I’ve gotta go with Renée Zellweger, as much as I wish it were otherwise.  
**Chicago** , it’s time for a musical.  
“How can they know you’ve got no talent,  
As long as they’re off balance?  
Razzle dazzle 'em and they’ll make you a star.”

What’s wrong with Renee Zellweger. I like her.
