It’s always good to find a piece of provenance when it comes
to Eastwood memorabilia, and as a few friends of mine know, I do dig deep when
it comes to research. So I spent about an hour yesterday continuing on the
(seemingly) never ending task of sorting out my features, cuttings and articles
and came across a full page spread from The San Francisco Chronicle (dated Thursday
March 10th 1988) which covered Eastwood shooting The Dead Pool back
on location in the city. Looking at the pictures carefully, I happened to
notice this one of 2 young fans outside of Eastwood’s trailer and spotted in
the window the Warner Bros Dead Pool studio sign. It was great to finally see
it (in use), as I had not seen any evidence of it before. I obtained one of
these original studio signs many years ago along with a few others. It’s always
nice to have these as they often have a different font or a totally different
design concept, and of course, having pictures such as this always tends to
make the smile stretch a little wider.
