Photo Opportunity #68 Clint at Sun Valley Idaho Western Film Conference June 1976
I don’t think there was much choice for this month’s Photo Opportunity – it was indeed the subject of much debate and head scratching (and headaches!). Firstly, thanks to Davy Triumph for coming up with this rare gem, and secondly to Kevin Wilkinson for eventually digging up the story behind the picture – Proof if proof were ever needed that we still have the best people and the collective brain power which continue to make this the ultimate Eastwood site.
So, here’s a wonderful photo of Clint in-between Peter Fonda (1940 – 2019) and the legendary Buster Crabbe (1909 – 1983). The time was June 1976 when Clint attended the Sun Valley, Idaho Western Film Conference – no doubt to help promote his latest, The Outlaw Josey Wales (which opened nationwide during the same month). Josey Wales also received a pre-screening during the six-day Idaho conference. Also in attendance were Chief Dan George, Tim McCoy directors King Vidor, Delmer Daves and Henry King and actor Warren Oates.
