Wife of Marlboro Man sues tobacco firms in Texas
Lila McLean, widow of David McLean who portrayed the Marlboro Man, filed Aug. 30 in East Texas federal court against Philip Morris and four other tobacco companies. She alleges a national conspiracy to hide nicotine addiction risks and cites McLean’s emphysema and lung cancer, noting his 1960s era ads. Wayne McLaren, another former Marlboro Man, died of cancer in 1992 after becoming an anti smoking advocate.
