Photo Opportunity #66 Lunch in Madrid 1965


Photo Opportunity #66 Lunch in Madrid 1965
Our October Photo Opportunity features a very rare shot of Clint, Carles Bronson and Steve Rowland.
Clint is captured here (not very flatteringly) having lunch with Charles Bronson and Hollywood columnist Steve Rowland in Madrid, Spain in 1965. Clint was of course in Spain at this time filming the second of the Dollar trilogy, For a Few Dollars More. Charles Bronson was also filming in Madrid – for the epic Ken Annakin movie, Battle of the Bulge.
A great deal of Battle of the Bulge was shot on location in the Sierra de Guadarrama Mountain range and Madrid, Spain, which actually bore no resemblance to the rugged, heavily wooded Ardennes of Belgium, Luxembourg, and western Germany. 
Steve Rowland is an American singer, columnist, record producer and actor. He grew up in Beverly Hills and now lives in Palm Springs, California. His father is film director Roy Rowland, his mother Ruth was a writer, and Louis B. Mayer was his great-uncle. Rowland was also staring in Battle of the Bulge in the role of Courtland.
Above: Not the most flattering photo of Clint, but try finding another of Clint with Charlie Bronson!
