Here Comes the Lone Ranger

Throughout the 20th century the Lone Ranger from the American western drama television series by the same name etched himself into our collective psyche. He continued to metamorphose into the rebel with-just-about-every-cause in the 1953 movie “The Wild One” starring Marlon Brando, and settled into the lasso-wielding Marlboro Man. The Lone Ranger may not have worn jeans, but he was the one referenced by Marlboro in its widespread advertising campaign—and Marlboro Man always wore denim. Ditto for “The Wild One.”
