A film was at work at the Circle Five Ranch to film a Marlboro commercial(商业广告). This was in 1868, before they forbad cigarette advertisements from American television. Darrell Winfield was watching the crew(摄制组) set up the equipment. The scene included an actor crossing a river on horseback, but when the time came to shoot, the man was too drunk to ride. Someone from the crew saw Winfield and asked him if he would ride the horse for $ 50.“Hell,”said Winfield, “fur 50 bucks, I'll jump that damn horse over the moon!”
To people in many countries. Winfield is just a familiar but nameless face, a simple cowboy with an advertising message about a connection between the West and brand of cigarettes. Few people know that he is 55 , a family man who's been married to the same woman for 37 years and has 5 children and 7 grandchildren. Most surprisingly, he's a real, working cowboy who raises horses in his ranch in Wyoming.

Flora Call Disney. Walt was one of five children, four boys and a girl.
After Walt's birth, the Disney family moved to Marceline Missouri, Walt lived most of his childhood here.

large part of agrarian (农业的) living. Though his father could be quite stern (严格的), and often there was
little money, Walt was encouraged by his mother, and older brother, Roy to pursue his talents.
During the fall of 1918, Disney attempted to enlist (入伍) for military service. Rejected because he was
under age, only sixteen years old at the time. Instead, Walt joined the Red Cross and was sent overseas to
France, where he spent a year driving an ambulance (救护车) and chauffeuring (驾驶) Red Cross officials.
Once Walt returned from France, he began to pursue a career in commercial (商业的) art. He started a
small company called Laugh-O-Grams, which eventually fell bankrupt (破产). With his suitcase and twenty
dollars, Walt headed to Hollywood to start anew.

1925, Walt married one of his first employees, Lillian Bounds, in Lewiston, Idaho. Later on they would be

studio's Academy Awards. On December 21, 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first full-length
animated (有生命的) musical feature, premiered (最初的) at the Cathay Theater in Los Angeles. The film
produced at the unheard cost of $1 499 000 during the depths of the Depression (不景气).
