I watched "The Straight Story" years ago, and finally watching it again. Directed by David Lynch. Every frame is a painting and Farnsworth is at his best.

We used him in an Olympia Beer commercial.
It was one of the favorite things he ever did, and when he was preparing his suicide, he contacted his agent to arrange for the commercial to be played at his memorial service. It was quite an event with a country western band, and virtually everyone who had ever been or played a cowboy in Hollywood present.
