In the early 1960s, when television western mania reached its peak, an American magazine sponsored a contest for the actors who portrayed western heroes and villains. Since the climactic moment of so many shows was the classic quick-draw shoot-out, the actors had to acquire that skill to play their scenes. The magazine held a competition among some of the stars of the shows, firing blanks, aiming not at each other, but down range, and using an electronic timer. Quite a lot of cowboy stars showed up to slap leather. Peter Brown beat them all, and won the title of the fastest gun in Hollywood.
