Rugged, Manly... A Little Coughy, Though

Dead: Darrell Hugh Winfield, at 85. Who? He was a long-running Marlboro Man. He was a ranch hand plucked out of obscurity to be in the ads for many years, from the '60s through the '80s. So he was the face of smoking and he lived to 85. They don't say if he actually smoked, though. Fun fact in this article: Marlboros were originally promoted to women, and the Marlboro Man campaign was intended to switch the brand to appeal to men. It worked. (AP via Fox News)
