Two rodeo ropes used by James Caan during the 1970s. The rodeo ropes show signs of use and are in good condition. The actor, famed for roles in The Godfather and Brian's Song, became interested in the sport after starring in the 1969 film, The Rain People. Caan competed in Pro Rodeo Cowboy Association events throughout the 1970s, winning a total of $2,404 in prize money. The actor said that he found professional rodeo events to be more "real" than the acting world in Hollywood that he was accustomed to.
