Alan Landers was an American male model and actor, best known as the "Winston Man", who appeared in advertising for Winston cigarettes.
After a stint in the Army, Landers took acting classes in New York and worked as a model. He appeared in numerous fashion magazines, and was featured in a Playgirl centerfold.
Landers took up smoking "before his bar mitzvah", smoking two-and-a-half packs a day for extended periods, and in 1987, was diagnosed with lung cancer and later emphysema and cancer of the larynx, which he attributed to a lifetime of heavy smoking. He died from cancer of the larynx on February 27, 2009, after surviving his previous bouts with lung cancer as well as heart disease.
In later life, he became an anti-smoking advocate, attributing his health problems to his smoking, and was involved in a court case against the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company that remained ongoing at the time of his death. He has done a lot for the anti-smoking campaign, and will be greatly missed.
