Moondance Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Actors Charles “Buddy” Rogers (1904-1999) and Richard Arlen (1899-1976) were 23 and 28 when they starred in Wings in 1927. The first film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, it was also one of the first to show two men kissing -- both when aviators are presented medals by a French general and are ceremonially pecked on their necks, and, more significantly, in a lingering deathbed kiss between friends Rogers and Arlen.

Moondance Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 Tony Sansone (1905–1987) was an Italian-American bodybuilder, born in New York City, the son of Sicilian immigrants. At age 16, he saw pictures of physique star Tommy Farber in Physical Culture magazine and became interested in physical development. He trained under the tutelage of bodybuilding publisher Bernarr Macfadden and bodybuilder Charles Atlas and, at age 18, in 1923, won a physique contest sponsored by Atlas. Sansone never pursued competitive bodybuilding as a career, and never earned any titles. His enduring fame in bodybuilding history is the result of his success as a model. He began modeling when he was still a teenager and during the Depression sold pictures of himself through mail-order ads. Here he is at age 30 (1935): http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-orPg5Tw3L58/UkmB-cuiAoI/AAAAAAABNMo/smRhyZ6rphY/s1600/AA+32+Tony+Sansone.jpg beachboy, + honcho, TruHart1 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moondance Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Yuri Gagarin (1934-1968), Soviet pilot and cosmonaut, he was the first human to fly in outer space (April 12, 1961, when his spacecraft completed an orbit of the Earth in 108 minutes). Short (only 5-foot-2), Gagarin earned a reputation as an adept public personality. An instant celebrity after his space flight, he was described as having a smile "that lit up the Cold War." He died at 34 in the crash of a routine training flight. His ashes are interred in the walls of the Kremlin on Red Square. bigvalboy, + honcho, TruHart1 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
