Kim Dolby was not the right person for Ms Ross role. She was an over actor and appeared to be an amateur. Obvious age discrepancy as well. She was the only downfall that prevented a 5 star review in my opinion. The movie plot was excellent and for no previous acting experience, Glenn Campell was good. Of course John Wayne made the movie great in itself. In my opinion, John Wayne is a natural. Unlike Kim Dolby, he doesn't appear to reading script. I give Kim Dolby a 1/2 star for her contribution in True Grit. The cat, General, was more impressive than Kim Dolby.
