Cool story about that poster.
“In 77, this guy calls me, and tells my kid on the phone that it’s Clint Eastwood. I said, “Yeah, Clint Eastwood. Big joke.” So my kid hung up on him. He calls back, and sure enough it was Clint Eastwood. I apologized and he laughed. He told me about the movie he was working on..
saw my work and wanted to come visit me.” A week after their phone call, Eastwood and co-star Sondra Locke flew out to the Frazetta estate to meet Frazetta. “They came in a limousine,” Frazetta recalled.
We talked about The Gauntlet and my wife made them peppers and eggs. Clint had some specific ideas about what he should look like on the poster, and made comparisons with a particular painting.”
