Super rough sketch for a Once Upon a Time in the West illustration with Henry Fonda as Frank, one of the great cinematic villains.
Once director Sergio Leone had convinced Fonda to play a psychopath, Fonda apparently showed up with dark contacts and a villain-y moustache. Leone made Fonda lose the gimmickry because all along he'd wanted Fonda for his cold blue eyes. The results, with Fonda's peepers often framed in tight close-up, were perfectly chilling. He shoots a kid in his first scene, for Christ's sake.
