Roscoe Lee Browne (81) died 4-11-07. "Some critics complained that I spoke too well to be believable" in the cook's role in “The Cowboys,” Browne told The Washington Post in 1972. "When a critic makes that remark, I think, if I had said, 'Yassuh, boss' to John Wayne, then the critic would have taken a shine to me."
