#CowboyDayCookalong: Clint Eastwood’s Spaghetti Western (1996)

Happy National Day of the Cowboy!

Marilyn Elizabeth Kane, American Model, actress. License instructor modeling, acting, Pennsylvania. Group organizer golf outings and benefits for American Heart Association, American Cancer Society, Easter Seal Society; Member NAFE, SAG, American Federation television and Radio Artists, Actors Equity Association, World Modeling Association (Jr.Internat. Fashion Model 1979, International Fashion Model 1980, Celebrity of Tomorrow 1981).

At least the end product looked nice:
