Manly Cheesecake #3
Olympic gold medal winner Johnny Weissmuller, star of a dozen Tarzan movies, including 1934's Tarzan and His Mate which featured Maureen O'Sullivan's infamous nude swimming scene. (O'Sullivan was actually doubled by Olympic swimmer Josephine McKim.)

I love Weissmuller.
ReplyDeleteI feel the need to point out that my uncle once broke his hand punching Weismuller's son in the back.
