This is Lou Zivkovich, a Canadian football player who went on to be a high school gym teacher, Playgirl model, and escort in that order.  This is from a 1974 issue of Playgirl.

  1. I have a particular fondness for men like this from the mid 1970s. I would spend hours with my father's hidden magazine collection and it didn't take long for this teenage boy to find that, unlike my father, I liked the men and not the women!

  2. Lou was coaching at Apple Valley High School when offered the photo shoot in Hawaii. He jumped at the chance for a free vacation and was paid $5000 for his time and images. The magazine gave him a four page spread and the centerfold. The high school said it was improper for a teacher to pose nude and doing so made him a bad role model. They fired him.

    He tried acting and for a while he was offered minor roles. Nothing came of his acting efforts.

    1. He took the school system to court and eventually got his job back, but the judge told him it was still "bad Judgement."

  3. I read that Lou Zivkovich appeared with Mae West in a CBS TV special titled "Dick Cavett's Backlot USA and that in one of the songs she enters a room full of young guys and says "This is the kinda room I like - wall to wall men"!!. I think we can all agree with that, but can anyone point me towards a clip? I would love to see it.

    1. I'd like to see that, too. West had a traveling version of such a show in the 1950's that included number of well known bodybuilders and physique models, some of whom posed for AMG and Bruce of LA.
