The real question is who was the first Marlboro Man of Marlboro Country, the campaign that carried Marlboro Cigarettes to greatness. That first Marlboro Man was an illustration by artist Bruce Bomberger. It ran on the back cover of Life Magazine on July 22nd, 1966. That advertisement completed a series or progression that had begun in Time Magazine on October 23rd, 1964, introducing him.

There were many men who appeared as the Marlboro man. However, there were two actors who portrayed the Marlboro Man the longest. Wayne McLaren and David McLean both portrayed the Marlboro Man, and unfortunately both died of lung cancer.

Christian Haren was the first man to portray the character. Darrell Winfield played the role in commercials for 20 years.
