The Clint Eastwood / Jack Robinson photo session July 1969

Jack Robinson, Jr. (September 18, 1928 – December 15, 1997) was an American photographer and stained glass designer. Robinson was freelance photographer for Vogue and The New York Times from the 1950s to the early 1970s before he left New York to return home to the American South and pursue a career as a stained glass designer.

In July, 1969, actor Clint Eastwood met Robinson for this photo session. By 1969, Eastwood had already appeared in several popular spaghetti westerns and the television show Rawhide. His films Hang ’em High and Coogan’s Bluff had been released the previous year and soon after these photographs were taken, Paint Your Wagon would be his next film to be released.
