‘Giant’ Marfa Mural in Marfa, Texas
Along a desert highway in Texas, between the tiny towns of Marfa and Valentine, stands four 15-foot-tall cut-out murals of scenes from the 1956 movie Giant. The movie—starring legendary Hollywood icons James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, and Rock Hudson—was filmed at the nearby Little Reata Ranch. It was nominated for nine Academy Awards, winning one, for Best Director. If you stop to check it out, you will also hear country music playing from solar-powered speakers.
