Timeline
In 1950, at the age of 31, Slim married Margaret Elizabeth Harmon and that same year he was given a role in a western, Rocky Mountain (1950). He quickly found a Niche in both comic and villainous roles in that genre. With his hoarse voice and pronounced western twang, he was not always easy to cast outside the genre, but when he was, as in "Dr. Strangelove", the results were often memorable.
He has appeared in three films that have been selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant: One Eyed Jacks - Marlon Brando's Western Classic (1961), Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb (1964) and Blazing Saddles (1974).
Slim Pickens spent the early part of his career as a real cowboy and the latter part playing cowboys, and he is best remembered for a single "cowboy" image: that of bomber pilot Maj. "King" Kong waving his cowboy hat rodeo-style as he rides a nuclear bomb onto its target in the great black comedy Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb (1964). Born in Kingsburg, near Fresno in California's Central Valley, he spent much of his boyhood in nearby Hanford, where he began rodeoing at the age of 12. Over the next two decades he toured the country on the rodeo circuit, becoming a highly-paid and well-respected rodeo clown, a job that entailed enormous danger.
Was Stanley Kubrick's first choice to play the role of Dick Hollaran in The Shining (1980). Pickens declined, saying that after enduring Kubrick's notorious style of multiple retakes in Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb (1964), he had no desire to work for him again. Subsequently, the role of Hollaran went to Scatman Crothers.
Inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 1982.
Inducted into the Rodeo Hall of Fame of the Rodeo Historical Society (a support group of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum) in 1986.
