About My Collection

I have been collecting on Alex McArthur since 1989. I have just about all his movies, tv series, guest roles, interviews, etc. on tape. I have many photos, newspaper & magazine articles, etc. I have helped Brenda Kennedy with items for her official website for Alex. Many of the photos and tapes I can duplicate for other fans. The above photos are just a few that I have available,and if anyone wants a tape or photos of Alex please contact me at MSE4Celebs@aol.com

I have never met Alex, but am informed that he is very nice and friendly with his fans when he does meet any. He is a very private person and doesn't attend many Hollywood events. I have hopes that he will one day do a cowboy festival or event, or get a Golden Boot Award, or do a Hollywood Collector's Show, and then maybe I would be able to meet him.

My Favorite Items

Some makeup test shots I got from the head makeup man on the Road Home tv series. Along with some call sheets.
A vhs copy of the original release of Rampage with Japanese subtitles. This is edited differently than the much later American release and gives a whole different outlook to the film.

Also original Fan Club newsletters, the only 2 that were published.

I am still looking for Photos from credits, or candids taken by fans. Local newpaper, tv guide or foreign clippings and articles. Local interviews for any series, or movie he made.
