ZARO ROSSI (1934-2005), an athlete in high school, and later a bodybuilder, served in the Air Force during the Korean War and worked in his family's restaurant business. As a young man, he posed for physique photographer Dave Martin (often without the posing strap common for the time) and also for George Quaintance (1902-1957), an artist best known for his homoerotic depictions of muscular young men.

AUGUSTE NEYT was a 22-year-old Belgian soldier when he first posed for Auguste Rodin in 1875. At that time, Rodin had been an anonymous apprentice for more than 20 years, and was looking for an opportunity to establish himself. He worked on his life-size standing figure for 18 months, first exhibiting it in Brussels in January 1877.

 

"What he wanted was a natural attitude, as realistic as life," remembered his model, but critics accused Rodin of using surmoulage (plaster casts from life), a method regarded as unworthy of a true artist. In addition to gathering testimonies from friends saying they had watched him work on his figure only from a living model, Rodin had photos made of Auguste Neyt and of his statue to show the differences between them. (Rodin had, for example, made the legs and lower torso of his figure slimmer than Neyt's, and made its head slightly smaller.) Critics eventually recognized that Rodin was innocent of any trickery, and the statue, ultimately known as The Age of Bronze, is now regarded as a testament to his great skill.

 

This photograph of the model, Auguste Neyt, was made by Gaudenzio Marconi in 1877:

The Age of Bronze

 

Very interesting. On a personal note, I am going to be married (whenever that happens) in the gardens of the Rodin Museum in Paris. If you have not been there, go while you are in Paris.

NICK CLOONEY (b. 1934), American broadcaster and television host, brother of Rosemary, father of George, one-time Congressional candidate, is seen here as a DJ for the Armed Forces Network on January 17, 1956, four days after his 22nd birthday:

 

 

In 2014, age 80, he appeared in The Monuments Men, directed by his son, who also played one of the leading characters. Nick Clooney played George Clooney's character in older age, visiting Belgium to see the Madonna, one of the treasures rescued by the Monuments Men during WWII.

Crazy resemblance!

In 1927, at 19, actor CHARLES MORTON (1908-1966) was signed to a contract with Fox Film Corporation. This publicity shot is from that year:

 

 

He was a leading man in silent films who continued to work in sound features and, later, in television, but his career lost momentum and after 1933 his parts were so minor that he was left uncredited for most of his performances. When he died from heart disease at 58, his ashes were interred in an unmarked grave in Valhalla Memorial Park, North Hollywood, CA.

What a gorgeous man (in 1927!) He follows the pattern of many silent film actors who were truly great eye candy but were unable to get cast in leading roles after talkies took off. Here's another beefcake shot (with tan lines)of Mr. Morton in @ 1927:
