A crew was at the Circle Five Ranch to film a Marlboro commercial. This was in 1968, befor

e they prohibited cigarette ads from American television. Darrell Winfield was watching the crew set up the equipment. (76) The scene included an actor crossing a fiver on horseback, but when the time came to shoot, the man was too drunk to ride. Someone from the crew saw Winfield and asked him if he would ride the horse for 50 dollars. "Hello," 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 the 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.
