“She’s just extraordinary in the film,” Darby said. “It’s top drawer.” And so, she said, is Steinfeld. “It’s a wonderful movie,” said Darby, now 63. But Joel and Ethan Coen’s version of the Western “True Grit” - with Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn, newcomer Hailee Steinfeld as the plucky Mattie Ross and Matt Damon as Texas Ranger LaBoeuf - has won over critics, audiences and even Kim Darby, who played the resolute Mattie in the 1969 original for which John Wayne won his only Oscar as the irascible Cogburn. Most remakes of classic films are shadows of the originals. During the rescue, Ross is bitten by a rattlesnake after falling into a pit, and Cogburn races against time in a successful attempt to save her life.Digital Replica Edition Home Page Close Menu
La Boeuf saves him from certain death by shooting Pepper but is then mortally wounded by Chaney, who in turn is shot and killed by Cogburn. He kills several of the outlaws, but his horse is shot and collapses, trapping the lawman. Cogburn and La Boeuf come to her rescue, and, in perhaps the film’s most-memorable scene, Cogburn charges the bandits, holding the horse’s reins between his teeth while wielding a pistol in one hand and a rifle in the other. During an unexpected encounter, Ross wounds Chaney but is captured by Pepper’s gang. The trio eventually learns that the killer is riding with a gang led by Ned Pepper ( Robert Duvall). They are joined by La Boeuf ( Glen Campbell), an arrogant young Texas Ranger who wants to arrest Chaney for the murder of a senator in his home state. She hires the drunken and slovenly Cogburn to help her track Chaney in a remote expanse of wilderness where outlaws roam freely. Mattie Ross (played by Kim Darby) is a headstrong 14-year-old girl who is determined to find her father’s killer, Tom Chaney ( Jeff Corey).
