In October 1969, Bruce Lee embarked on a publicity tour for the MGM movie Marlowe in which he had a small co-starring role as hired thug 'Winslow Wong' beside the famous Hollywood actor James Garner. The ten-day nationwide tour had stop-overs in Texas and Florida, the east coast to New York before finally heading westward-bound towards Los Angeles via San Francisco. During the tour, Lee stopped in Charlotte, North Carolina, to participate in a television appearance for local station WSOC. MGM had approached local Taekwondo Grandmaster Reg Smith to assist Lee during demonstrations on the show. The renowned Grandmaster had also managed to shoot a roll of TRI-X still film during the television performance, the only surviving photographic record of that historic Bruce Lee appearance on Friday, October 24th. Undiscovered for over fifty years, fans worldwide can now witness these historical images of the worlds greatest martial artist for the very first time.
