Airports, or 'A Study In Terror.'

I'm not sure I've seen David McCallum looking quite as scared as he does in some of these photos when he steps off the plane at London Airport on March 16th, 1966, for the U.N.C.L.E. promotional tour. Imagine being a shy, private, retiring actor, and coming home to a mob of screaming hormonal girls who all want to rip your clothes off or kidnap you and keep you in their bedroom. Thus is the reality of Illya-mania.

There's also a video of his arrival here on youtube. It doesn't have sound but it's fun to watch.

These photos are pretty much all of that single date, except where noted. There's also a shot of Robert Vaughn looking utterly suave at Heathrow, as one would expect him to look. Pretty man.

 

This is a face of utter terror.

This is from the Man From U.N.C.L.E. tour, but I don't know which one or where. It looks like it might be at an airport, since he's carrying a suitcase, and looks terrified.

Robert Vaughn, oh, Robert Vaughn, looking so very utterly elegant at Heathrow. One would almost expect him to burst into song and dance.

Nothing fancy here. Just a little storehouse for photos on my harddrive of David McCallum and his first wife, Jill Ireland. I'll update this as and when I have anything new.

I'm guessing all the photos below with Jill wearing the same dress and hairstyle are the same event, and therefore are of the pair attending the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles in 1966.

 

Photos from Man From Uncle and during that era.

Various miscellaneous shots that have no home.
