Alan Landers, 68, a model who posed for Winston cigarette ads in the 1960s and 1970s and later sued the tobacco industry over his health claims, died Feb. 27 at his home in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., while undergoing treatment for throat cancer.
Mr. Landers, whose legal name was Allan Levine, started smoking as a child and wrote on his Web site that he was required to smoke on the sets for advertisements, posing for billboards and magazine ads as the self-proclaimed “Winston Man.”
