Clint Eastwood is another actor who has become synonymous with the Western genre, thanks to films like "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and "Unforgiven."

In terms of actresses, one of the most iconic is definitely Maureen O'Hara, who starred in "The Quiet Man" alongside John Wayne and "McLintock!" alongside John Wayne again. She was known for her fiery personality and stunning beauty. Another classic actress from Westerns is Barbara Stanwyck, who starred in films such as "The Big Valley" and "Cattle Queen of Montana."
