She was 27 when she played Feathers, the quick-witted and strong-willed widow who stole scenes from the likes of John Wayne with lines like “Hey Sheriff, you forgot your pants.” And in the 64 years since “Rio Bravo” debuted, she has not tired of it in the least. “I could watch it once a week,” Dickinson said from her home in Los Angeles. “It’s a delicious movie.”But before she sits down to revisit one of her most treasured roles, the sharp, funny 91-year-old cinema legend has one little problem: She hasn’t yet decided what to wear for her chat with TCM host Ben Mankiewicz.“I could talk about ‘Rio Bravo’ forever, but that’s not the problem,” she said. “The problem is getting all done up and finding a nice outfit for it. That’s not easy.”Dickinson counts getting cast as Feathers as the hap...
