Not the original, but Tthe replica 18th-century Spanish mission and Old West movie set John Wayne built for his Oscar- nominated 1960 movie and that for decades was a tourist mecca and film production site. “It’s not just something that represents history to a movie set - it is now history for sure,” says Rich Curilla, the one-man curator and custodian of the now-closed Alamo Village. Alamo Village, a 400- acre plot of land about 120 miles west of San Antonio, was carved out of a large ranch in the late 1950s for Wayne’s directorial debut. Starring Richard Widmark as Jim Bowie and Wayne as Davy Crockett, “The Alamo” had an estimated $12 mil- lion budget, huge for its time. The 4-foot-thick Alamo facade was modeled off a 1936 map of the historic building - drawn up for the Texas centennial that year - and set construc- tion took nearly two years.

The Texas Film Commission has actively been in exist- ence since 1971, yet there has not been any published study that examines its history, how it functions, or its impact on the film industry in Texas. Using information gathered from magazine and newspaper articles, the State laws of Texas, letters from people associated with the Texas Film Commission, and interviews, this study explores these as- pects of the Film Commission. Texas has been popular as a filmmaking state since the early 1900's. It was through the interest of the State leg- islators that a film commission was established in Texas. Guidelines for the Texas Film Commission are described in the State Statutes of Texas. The goal of the Texas Film Commission is to encourage and promote both out-of-state and in-state production. It does receive assistance in promoting Texas as a filmmaking state from other State agencies, but is solely responsible for increasing Texas' popularity with filmmakers through marketing seminars and advertising campaigns.

  • Beyond Brackettville – Elaine Slubar
    SENIOR MOMENT Beyond Brackettville Small-town Girl Drives Movie Stars By Amy Morgan -year-old Elaine Slubar had an idyllic childhood. She grew up west of Uvalde on the Fischer Ranch owned by her mother’s family. Her home was built of river77 rock with outbuildings of D’Hanis tile. Trips to town took more than an hour on unpaved roads, so the family also owned a house in Uvalde, coincidentally two houses away from the home of former United States Vice President John Nance Garner. Third of four sisters, Elaine was a cheerleader and homecoming princess at Uvalde High School. Beloved family photos depict the girls sunbathing on the banks of the Nueces River that borders their property. Elaine followed her older sister to the University of Texas. She met John Sheedy, whose family had deep roots in Brackettville, his father serving as Kinney County Sheriff for decades. Sheedy, “the best dancer in five counties,” swept her off her feet. They married and returned to South Texas where the movie industry was changing the landscape. John Wayne had built a movie set complete with an 1836-era Alamo replica at Alamo Village in Brackettville. After The Alamo was filmed, the area was a popular film destination. More than 72 movies, six documentaries, six music videos and 13 commercials were filmed there, according to the Alamo Village website. Popular titles include Lonesome Dove, Arrowhead, starring Charleton Heston, Two Rode Together, with Jimmy Stewart, and The Great Waldo Pepper, featuring Robert Redford. Elaine obtained a commercial license and became a professional driver to the stars.
