BEHIND THE SCENES: A QUICK RECCE

Sir Alec Guinness and his wife Lady Merula Guinness arrive in Tunisia (March 1976) and, a day or so prior to the start of filming his scenes as Obi-Wan, meet Lucas and producer Gary Kurtz for a chat and a quick promotional photo. A talented artist, Merula would often go off and paint Tunisian backgrounds and buildings whilst her husband was movie-making.

AFICIONADO sends special Birthday Greetings out to Gary Kurtz for this weekend.
