Photo Opportunity #42

Photo Opportunity #42

For our October’s Photo Opportunity, I’ve gone right back to the early Rawhide period when Clint was starring as Rowdy Yates on the CBS television western. This photo was taken during a long photo shoot on November 11th, 1961 in Los Angeles, CA. There was a more common used shot from this photo session where Clint has the pinstripe jacket (seen on the left) slung casually over his shoulder. There was also a change of clothing (to a white shirt) which resulted in another commonly seen shot with Clint leaning against a tree trunk. That shot would later be used as a UK picture sleeve for the 7” single release, Rowdy. 

However, the shot below is a seldomly seen alternative photo from the session.
