Although I don't know why i know that, nor why she seemed so familiar. She was in the Gift and Hollow Man, the only two of her movies i've seen, and I must have found her attractive and looked up her name before or something....regardless, let's hope she gets some more exposure on the show

I must be the only person who likes Calamity Jane...I think her interaction with the little girl is cute especially the whole bit with the swearing and owing the girl a penny for it.
I don't get the Ricky Jay love. What's he been in?

I like Calamity Jane also. But I think she may meet a violent death pretty soon.

I wouldn't say a ripe old age....she died at 51...but she did live to see the 20th century. here's a little bio (with the spoiler provided should you wish to avoid knowing the real fate of a major figure in Deadwood)
Calamity Jane
(May 1, 1852 (?) - August 1, 1903)
Martha Jane Cannary Burke
Born about 1852 in Missouri, Martha Jane Cannary went to Deadwood, Dakota, during the Gold Rush in the Black Hills. There,
, she claimed that he was the father of her child and that they'd been married. (The child, if it existed, was said to have been born September 25, 1873, and given up for adoption.)
She was noted her habit of dressing in men's clothing. She nursed victims of a smallpox epidemic in 1878, also dressed as a man. She was something of a local legend because the Sioux Indians left her alone (as well as because of her other eccentricities).
She married Clinton Burke in 1891 after they'd lived together for at least six years.
In her later years, she appeared in Wild West shows, including the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show, around the country, featuring her riding and shooting skills. But her chronic drunkenness and fighting caused many problems, and after she was fired in 1901 from a show, she retired to Deadwood, where she died of pneumonia. She was buried next to Wild Bill Hickok.
Why "Calamity"? That's what she'd threaten to any man who bothered her -- a calamity. Or perhaps it was due to her heroic efforts during the smallpox epidemic. Or maybe it was a description of a very hard and tough life.

not just card tricks....but throwing cards....the man can slice a watermelon with a card and otherwise impale them into whatever....he's thrown them over 100 miles an hour too I think, with incredible accuracy.

Ricky Jay was also a minor character in the Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies. I think he was a weapon scientist.

Either that or she'll start mining the claim herself...

Where did you find out that information about Calamity Jane? According to that Deadwood, SD museum website that was posted in last week's thread, Will Bill & Calamity Jane never had any romantic involvement, contrary to popular and protrayed belief.

I finally got around to watching this episode. Gotta' say, that it was the most enjoyable for me for whatever reason (maybe it was the hot prostitutes!). Glad to see both Powers Boothe and Ricky Jay!
