A film was at th eCircle Five Ranch to film a Marlboro commercial. This is in 1868, before
they prohibited cigarette ads form American television . Darrell Winfield was watching the crew
set up the equipment . The scene included an actor crossing a river on horseback, but when the
time came to shoot, the man was too drunk to ride. Someone form the crews saw Winfield and asked
him if he would ride the horse for $50 . "Hell, " said Winfield, " for 50 bucks, I'll jump that
damn horse over the moon!"
To people in many countries , Winfield is just a familiar but nameless face, a simple cowboy
with an advertising message about a connection between teh West and a brand of cigarettes. Few
people know that he is 55, a family man who's been married to the same woman for 37 years and
has 5 children and 7 grandchildren. Most surprisingly, he's a real, working cowboy who raises
horses in his ranch in Wyoming.
One of the most striking things about the Marlboro Man is that success hasn't changed him
much. He says that complete strangers sometimes come up to him and say," I've met you. I know
you from somewhere ." Whenever it happens, he says that he gets embarrassed.
