Clint at CBS in the Sixties

Here’s a great collection of photos that I have had on file for a long time and I promised to post back in the August of 2018. Actually, it’s arguably a blessing I delayed it, as our correspondent Davy Triumph just recently came up with some additional photos from this same shoot – so I’m very grateful to him. 
These photos represent a very long day spent at CBS Television City in Hollywood, California.. It’s a fascinating collection which took place on April 5th, 1960. CBS certainly made the most of their man on that day - Clint can be seen dressed in casual clothing around various areas of the studio premises and then for some more formal publicity shots in the studio. Then there’s a costume change for a photo shoot of Clint in full Rawhide garb. One of these photos was finally used for his Cowboy Favourites album (and the basis of my original post here). And lastly, Clint is dressed formally in a dinner suite for what is described as being a Rawhide season / year-end holiday party, again held at the studios. It’s a really fabulous collection of photos.
