William Leo Thourlby (January 22, 1924 – April 15, 2013) was an American actor, model and writer. He was known for his rugged, cowboy look, when he appeared as the face of the Marlboro Man campaign in the 1950s.[1] This ad campaign was one of the 20th century's most famous, redefining the Marlboro brand image from a cigarette for women to one for men.[2]
