For 40 years, I put my body through a tremendous amount of work.

I'm from Middlesboro, Ky., a little town on the Tennessee and Virginia border.

Doing a series, every week you work with a new star.

So it's like starting over again, but I look forward to the challenge.

Clint Eastwood's a good friend, too - he and I used to play in softball games together.

I got kind of burned out, so I moved to Florida. I was down there for 10 or 12 years, raising children.

I thought I'd gone to heaven, because I grew up watching Roy and Gene Autry
