Lizzy Tex Borden's

I took this picture at the Universal Studios Los Angeles stunt show

in 1968. Here you can see a cowboy taking a dive off of the hotel's
roof after having been shot with a load of hot lead. This is a scan of a
photo I took with my Polaroid Swinger Land Camera. In '68 the
Universal Amphitheater was still outdoors. It was converted
to an indoor amphitheater in 1982.

Here is a bit larger image of the
unfortunate soul. I have always loved
Western stunt shows. Lot's of
guns and cowboys.
Suits me fine.

(The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
theme park is now on the land that the
amphitheater once occupied.)
