Pickens
I now realize that since that nonsense about Pickens and The Shining was in the Pickens article for six years and has therefore proliferated all over the Internet, you probably added it in good faith. It's still completely wrong though.--WickerGuy (talk) 19:05, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello Wicker Guy, Thank you for responding to my contribution to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining and Slim Pickens. Actually, Slim Pickens was offered the role. I have known Slim's former agent, Steve Stevens, for many years. Steve told me that he tried everything to get Slim to do the film but he would not do it. I have hired many of Steve's actors from his agency including James Doohan (who played Scotty on "Star Trek") and Richard Kiel (who played 'Jaws' in the James Bond movies "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Moonraker"). Steve does not use a computer but he has many wonderful stories about his clients like Chuck Connors, Slim Pickens and others. The only story on the web I found about the Slim Pickens offer to be in The Shining was from this website: http://www.dukewayne.com/showthread.php?t=2511. If you know of a way I can quote Steve, Slim Pickens former agent, I would gladly do so. I thank you again for being so kind and writing to me.
