In the 1970's and 1980's, Burt Reynolds was one of the top actors in Hollywood, but in 1962 he needed a break to catch a role on television. When actor Dennis Weaver departed from the popular television series "Gunsmoke", a spot opened up and it was handed to Reynolds to play a half breed blacksmith named Quint Asper. Here we find the young man trying to make a name for himself with no idea how bright his future would be! This is the earliest and most impressive image of Reynolds we have ever seen in any form! The quality is essentially perfect and the condition is pretty nice as well with some light handling wear and a tiny rip at the top border. A museum quality relic of a bright Hollywood star catching his first break!
