Description
The real Billy Hayes (right) meets actor Brad Davis, who portrays Hayes in the motion picture, "Midnight Express," which dramatizes the years he spent in a Turkish prison and his eventual escape. Billy Hayes learned about marijuana and journalism at Marquette University, then dropped out of college, faked psychosis to escape the draft and decided to bum around the world for a while. Pretty typical in the 1960s. In 1970 in Turkey, he couldn't resist buying two kilos of hashish, taping them under his clothes in little packets and trying to board a plane out of the country.

Photo measures 8 x 10 inches. Photo is dated --1978.
