  • aka Slim Pickens

    TV and Movie Actor

    One story has it that he aquired the name Slim Pickens when he was 15 years old and started rodeoing despite his father being against it. At one of those rodeos, he told promoter Cuff Burrell that he couldn't use his real name because his father would find out. So Cuff put him down as Slim Pickens.
