Jimmy Stewart, talking about the horse he rode in movies for twenty-two
years: “I never was able to buy Pie because he was owned by a little girl, Stevie
Myers, who’s the daughter of an old wrangler who used to wrangle horses for Tom
Mix and W.S. Hart. He retired and he gave this horse to her. Pie was a sort of
a maverick. He hurt a couple of people. Audie Murphy rode him a couple of
times. He nearly killed Glenn Ford, ran right into a tree. But I liked this
darned little horse. I got to know him like a friend. I actually believed he
understood about making pictures. I ran at a full gallop, straight towards the
camera, pulled him up and did a lot of dialogue and he stood absolutely still.
He never moved. He knew when the camera would start rolling and when they did
the slates. He knew that because his ears came up.”
