This video is something else!!

Now we all know that Cowboy stars of the 50s and 60s did commercials for their sponsors - and cigarette companies were big sponsors back then.


And Hoby Gilman was no exception ...







Here he is (check out that hair style) with lots of his compatriots pushing the tobacco message.
(If they only knew then, what we know now!) .... and exactly "what" was Matt Dillon and Miss Kitty really smoking there???





And here's the direct link:

O.K. anyone recognize who that last cowboy was ??



Here's a few hints ....


Hint #1 - He was on I SPY.


Hint #2 - He was blonde.


Hint #3 - He was big.


Hint #4 - He was in Mexico.


and Hint #5 - He was a Russian cosmonaut moonlighting as an Indian god.

Yep, that was Rory Calhoun ... Dmitri in "A Day Called for Jaguar."





He looks sooo different as a blonde - wonder if he had more fun?

Great archeological find Tatia. When the coolest dudes on TV are recommending it, it does sort of make you long to light up. But what, pray, is an "intelligent filter"? I'm pretty sure these commercials predate microchip technology. I'm also wondering what Marshall Dillon and Miss Kitty are smoking. I think that's the brand I want.
