Born on this day 96 years ago: that wondrous physical specimen, 1950s beefcake Adonis Ed Fury (né Rupert Edmund Holovchik, 6 June 1928 - 24 February 2023). Fury also occasionally acted (his filmography includes Abbott and Costello Go to Mars (1953) and Wild Women of Wongo (1958)). He’s also one of the bevy of semi-nude muscle men who cavort in tiny flesh-coloured shorts with Jane Russell in her “Ain’t There Anyone Here for Love?” musical number in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953). Later, he triumphantly transitioned to Italian “sword and sandal” or “peplum” gladiator films like Colossus and The Amazon Queen (1960) and Ursus (1961). Fury also, of course, posed “undraped” for male pinup photographers like Bruce of LA and Bob Mizer of Athletic Model Guild.

"It's not the men in your life that counts, it's the life in your men!": Advertisement for a Hollywood gay-themed film fest featuring a revival midnight screening of Mae West's "I'm No Angel," likely from the early '60s. Note the positioning of physique model Ed Fury as an obvious selling point for the intended audience. I'm not certain that Fury was one of Ms West's chorus boys, but he would star in Italian Strongman epics like several of them did, and she did crown him "Mr. Hercules" in a 1958 Hollywood beefcake beauty pageant.
