              <p>Legend has it that when Edna Ferber was researching her book 
                "Giant," which in 1955 was made into a movie, she asked King Ranch 
                boss Robert Kleberg Jr. if she could stay on his ranch for a few 
                weeks. All she wanted, she said, was to learn about "a typical 
                Texas ranch." <br>
                &nbsp;&nbsp; Kleberg was quick to tell her that King Ranch wasn't 
                typical. But the book-movie and the ranch had many similarities, 
                which the ranch folk found embarrassing. They could've done worse 
                than have James Dean, Rock Hudson and Elizabeth Taylor (as she 
                looked in 1955) portray them. <br>
                &nbsp;&nbsp; The ranch was, and remains, bigger than Hollywood.
