The original Marlboro Man has died in Riverton; His image was known
worldwide
(Riverton, Wyo.) – A Riverton rancher who became the iconic image of
the rugged American Cowboy has died at the age of 85. Darrell Winfield
was the original Marlboro Man and his image was used in marketing
campaigns around the world. Winfield was declared dead Monday at
SageWest-Riverton after a lengthy illness. He had been in hospice care
at his home.

Winfield’s image of a hard working real cowboy was burned into the
national memory on billboards, signs, advertisements, and promotional
materials from Times Square in New York City to Sunset Boulevard in
Hollywood and across the world. He served as the Marlboro Man from
1968 to 1989.
Winfield was first spotted by a marketing executive on a photo shoot
in Wyoming and he was soon identified as “The Marlboro Man.” Even
after he was no longer the subject in the ads, Winfield worked as a
wrangler for Marlboro ad photo shoots for his successors. He was an
active rancher when not assisting with the commercial shoots.
He lived on his ranch North of Riverton.
Marlboro is the largest selling brand of cigarettes in the world,
according to Wikipedia. The cigarette is made by Philip Morris USA (a
branch of Altria) within the US, and by Philip Morris International
(now separate from Altria) outside the US. It is well known for its
billboard advertisements, magazine ads of the Marlboro Man, and its
long associated history in the sponsorship of motorsport. Richmond,
Virginia, is the location of the largest Marlboro cigarette
manufacturing plant.
A memorial service is being planned at a future date.
Family members noted that Winfield’s great grandson, Clay Walters,
died in a single vehicle crash east of Hudson one day before his great
grandfather’s passing. “Darrell is now with Clay in heaven,” one
family member said.

Winfield was certainly not the original Marlboro Man. The campaign started in the 1950s and used several different actors/models posing as cowboys. In the earl 1960s, real cowboys were introduced into the mix (including Carl Bradley and Max Robinson). Actor Christian Haren was the first one officially designated "The Marlboro Man" in the early 1960s.

Winfield did not become the Marlboro Man until 1968. He remained as TMM until his retirement in 1989 (as mentioned in the article). Though Winfield was not the first Marlboro Man or the "original Marlboro Man", Philip Morris calls him "the real Marlboro man" because of his long service and embodiment of the character.

There are as many original Marlboro Mans as there are Our Gang actors.

Marlboro was repositioned from being a women's brand to the
"cowboy" image long before 1968.

That's right!
Cigarettes were frequently referenced by citizens (long before
the '64 Surgeon General Report) as 'coffin nails'.

Well, duh! If you smoke, the doctor will always ascribe your death to smoking. We always die due to our behavior.

Now what would really be newsworthy is if the 'original' Marlboro man's horse died of smoking related illness. A indisputable connection of illness to second-hand smoke.
