Richard Cromwell, 1934 (age 24) ... His career was at its peak when he appeared with Bette Davis in Jezebel (1938) and with Henry Fonda in Young Mr. Lincoln (1939). Rumored to be gay, he was married for nine months to Angela Lansbury when she was 19 and he was 35.

I know it's OT here, but at age 73, Sam Elliott remains an exceptionally handsome man who has aged well, and I originally fell in lust with him back in 1976 when he was the lead in "Lifeguard!" 6'2" and a tall drink of water...my kind of man!

Any photos of Robert Conrad from his days on Hawaiian Eye and Wild Wild West?

What I remember getting turned on by in the show (Wild, Wild West) was when he climbed anything, his pants were so tight, his prominent muscled ass looked amazing. For some reason, my search turned up absolutely NO pictures of the 8th wonder of the world which Mr. Conrad was blest with at that time! :(

It just seems so weird that a costumer designer for the show would look at those pants and say, "Oh, fine, those will do." I know he/she might find them OK for other reasons but not for professional ones.

I happen to have been around about 12-16 years of age during the period when WWWest was on TV. I remember vividly a couple of 18-20 year old brothers who were around my age (in my church, of all places) whose dress trousers ("Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes") left nothing to the imagination because they both always went commando! There were many times when I conjured up the images of what was plain to my eyes in both the front and the back of those tight trousers within the privacy of my room for a quick, hot jack-off session! VPL's in that era of male fashion just didn't seem that uncommon. I found a stash of even earlier Paris Match magazines around then in my uncle's room (with no airbrushing to hide VPL) which instilled such dirty thoughts in my lusty, youthful mind, it was like I'd discovered a stash of pornography! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Not for nothing, it's been said that, in it's time (1965-69), If you were gay, that show was the best soft porn to be found on commercial television.

Bela Lugosi came to the U.S. in 1920. With fellow Hungarian actors, he formed a small stock company that toured Eastern cities playing for immigrant audiences. In 1922, at age 40, he appeared his first English-speaking Broadway play, The Red Poppy,(top photo):

Twin brothers Jed and Jay Johnson, born in 1948, moved from Minnesota to Manhattan in 1967. Two weeks later, Jed delivered a telegram to the Decker Building, which was being renovated by Paul Morrissey before it became the new home of Andy Warhol's Factory. Jed Johnson accepted an on-the-spot job offer to sweep floors, but quickly moved into film editing, and eventually directed Andy Warhol's Bad.

 

He picked out a townhouse for Warhol on East 66th Street, designed its interiors, and became Warhol's longest lasting live-in lover.

 

Both Jed and Jay were well known on the New York scene in the 1970s.

 

After designing the offices of Interview magazine, he continued to build his career, eventually forming a partnership in both business and life with architect Alan Wanzenberg, and taking on clients such as Mick Jagger and Richard Gere. He was awarded the Interior Design magazine Hall of Fame Award in 1996.

 

On July 17 1996, Jed Johnson was killed in the crash of TWA flight 800 into the water off Long Island. His brother Jay now runs the interior design business.
