Old Gringo Character Sketches
A lot of (2) character sketches from the 1989 romance-adventure film 'Old Gringo.' The film stars Jane Fonda and Gregory Peck, and is about a school teacher (Fonda) who is captured by revolutionaries after going to Mexico to teach. The sketches were drawn to depict actor Burt Lancaster as a corpse. Originally, Lancaster was cast for the lead role of Ambrose Bierce but Columbia Pictures decided it would be too expensive to insure the 74 year old actor for the film, so they replaced him with Gregory Peck. Lancaster eventually sued the studio for $1.5 million and reached an out of court settlement. The sketches are done on wax paper. (measures approx. 9 12/"x 19")
