Paramount Movie Ranch replaced Tropico Goldmine as
the site for the 14th Annual World's Championship Chili Cookoff. Peter
Marshall and Joe Landis filmed a special on the World's Championship and
there were more "stars" at Paramount than there were in the sky. Robert
Mitchum, Ernest Borgnine, Joanne Dru, Peter Marshall, Artie Johnson,
Dennis James, Jack Kelly, Tom Poston, Rory Calhoun, Mike Connors, Slim
Pickens, Earl Holliman, George Gobel, Billy Barty, and Chuck Conners were
all in the special. Bill Pfeiffer, the Washington D.C. winner, won $20,000
with his "Capital Punishment" chili. John Hundley was second, Randy Davis
third, Ray Walker fourth, and LeRoy Johnson was fifth.
