In December of 1995 I took a trip out west for my third issue of Direct to Hollywood. Unfortunately, we never got this issue off the ground, switching to internet instead. Here are some of the photos I took around Marfa, Terlingua and El Paso. Marfa was the sight of Giant in 1955. In El Paso they were filming the updated vertion of Lolita. There was also a location near Terlingua in which numerous westerns had been filmed. There was a pet goat which was the honorary mayor and the people there gave him beer all the time.

The first set is from a ranch about 10 to 15 miles west of Marfa, the set of Giant.

The scene where Elizabeth Taylor flirted with James Dean was filmed across the highway from the old house facade. In the scene she was sitting on a fence chatting with Dean and he was telling her about his dreams.

Here are just some interesting pictures I took.
the first is a remnant of a volcano in West Texas.

This is a pic of the house that a rich man from the east built in Terlingua back around 1920 when he started a mercury mine.
