EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming black and white portrait captured in November 1980, we see the iconic actor David Prowse visiting Belfast, Northern Ireland. The photograph showcases a delightful interaction between Prowse and five-year-old Zara Wolseley, who discovers that Darth Vader, the fearsome villain from Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, is actually quite a friendly gentleman. Prowse, known for his portrayal of Darth Vader on screen, dons a different role here as the Green Cross Code man. With children surrounding him in awe-inspiring costumes and clothing from decades past, he carries out his mission to educate youngsters about road safety. His famous facial expressions are replaced by a warm smile that radiates kindness and protection. This image captures not only the strength of Prowse's character but also highlights the impact actors can have off-screen. It showcases how entertainment icons like him can use their fame to positively influence society. The photograph takes us back in time to an era where innocence met fantasy through cinematic experiences. It serves as a reminder of the power of film to bring joy and inspiration into people's lives. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints with unknown authorship, this image immortalizes an unforgettable moment when two worlds collided - one filled with imagination and another grounded in real-life lessons about safety on Northern Ireland's roads.
