Johnny Weissmuller (1904-1984) starred in a dozen Tarzan movies in the 1930s and '40s. His costume early in the series was skimpy, with just a string across the waistline (as below) until the Production Code was established. Here, in about 1932, Weissmuller is in his late 20s.

Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson (1824-1863) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War. Military historians consider Jackson one of the most gifted tactical commanders in U.S. history.

Accidentally shot by his own troops during the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863, Jackson initially survived but lost his left arm to amputation. He died of complications from pneumonia eight days later at age 39.

The photograph below was taken by Matthew Brady in 1851 when Jackson was age 27.

 

During a U.S. Marines training exercise in Virginia in 1921, the Marine commander was told by a local farmer that Stonewall Jackson's amputated arm was buried nearby under a granite marker, to which the skeptical commander replied, "I will take a squad of Marines and dig up that spot to prove you wrong!" Instead, he found the arm in a box under the marker, replaced the wooden box with a metal one and reburied the arm.

Ezra Winter (1886-1949) was an American muralist trained at the Chicago Academy of Fine Art and at the American Academy in Rome. Among his best-known works are The Canterbury Tales in the Library of Congress and Fountain of Youth in the foyer of Radio City Music Hall. During World War I, Winter was a camouflage designer for the U.S. Shipping Board. He later taught at the Grand Central School of Art and maintained a studio in Falls Village, CT near which, in pain and unable to paint, he killed himself with a shotgun at age 63. Here, as an art student in 1910, he is 24:

Luchino Visconti (1906-1979), born into a prominent noble family in Milan, was an Italian theatre, opera and cinema director, as well as a screenwriter. He is best known for his films Ossessione (1943), Senso (1954), Rocco and His Brothers (1960), The Leopard (1963), The Damned (1969) and Death in Venice (1971). Visconti made no secret of his homosexuality; his lovers included Franco Zeffirelli (who worked as part of the crew on several Visconti films) and Helmut Berger, who starred in his film The Damned. Here, in a picture taken by Horst P. Horst in 1936, he is age 30:

Helmut Berger (born 1944, now 73) is an Austrian actor best known for his work with Luchino Visconti (his partner from 1964–1976), particularly his performances in Ludwig and The Damned. He has appeared primarily in European cinema, but occasionally in American productions such as The Godfather Part III. Here, in 1969 at 25, in The Damned:

Born and raised in Ohio, Ron Zehel (1966-2016) was Mr. Drummer 1988 at age 22. The following year, as "Tony Minetti," he had a scene with Rex Chandler in Matt Sterling's "Heat in the Night." He continued to model under that name for a few years, appearing on the cover of Advocate Men (February 1990) and in other publications. Later, he lived in The Netherlands for a dozen years, became fluent in Dutch and worked as a manager and buyer at the American Book Center there, before returning to the U.S. and living in Palm Springs for the last four years of his life.

John "Black Jack" Bouvier III (1891-1957), a Wall Street stockbroker and socialite, was the father of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

 

With a nickname that came from his dark complexion, Black Jack Bouvier was heir to a family fortune made on Wall Street and in real estate speculation. He had a keen sense of style, thick black hair and piercing eyes complemented by a muscular physique he maintained by working out in a private gym or at the Yale Club. He topped up his tan by sunbathing naked at the window of his New York City apartment, or in the men’s cabana area of the Maidstone Club in East Hampton.

 

A chronic gambler and compulsive womanizer, uninterested in intellectual or cultural pursuits, he was divorced by Jackie's mother in 1940 and never remarried. By the mid-50s, he had only sporadic contact with his daughters and family, and spent most of his time drinking alone in his apartment at 125 East 74th Street in Manhattan. He died of liver cancer at 66, three-and-a-half years before his daughter became the First Lady.

It's a record player that played 45 rpm records (in the picture). Most automakers offered it as an option in the early 60's, perhaps even the very late 50's.

Manuel L. Quezon (1878-1944) served as president of the Commonwealth of the Philippines from 1935 to 1944, tackling the problem of landless peasants in the countryside, dealing with a foreign stranglehold on trade and commerce, establishing women's suffrage and the adoption of a national language in 1937, proposing land reforms and fighting government corruption. With the outbreak of WWII, he established a government-in-exile in the U.S. At age 65, he died of tuberculosis at Saranac Lake, NY. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery until his remains could be returned to Manila after the war.

Hồ Chi Minh (1890-1969), was a Vietnamese Communist revolutionary leader and President of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) from 1945 to 1969. Any description of his life before he came to power is fraught with ambiguity; he is known to have used at least 50 and perhaps as many as 200 pseudonyms. His place of birth and date of birth are products of academic consensus; neither is known with certainty. Hồ is shown here in December 1920 at age 30 speaking at the foundational congress of the French Communist Party:

Howard Hughes (December [or September?] 24, 1905-April 5, 1976) Born into wealth from his father's invention of a patented two-cone roller bit, which allowed rotary drilling for petroleum in previously inaccessible places, he was an American business magnate, investor, record-setting pilot, film director, and philanthropist, known during his lifetime as one of the most financially successful individuals in the world.

 

He famously dated many starlets after he moved from his native Texas to Hollywood at age 19 (in 1924, legally becoming emancipated at that age) to specifically break into motion pictures as a producer, at which he had great success, first in silent films and then in talkies. During certain periods of his life, some of his parties were purported to have turned into sexual orgies and there were even a few rumors that he may have been involved in a gay liaison or two during his lifetime, though that never was proven conclusively.
