Ed Fury passed away on February 24, 2023 at his home in Woodland Hills, California
at the age of 94. Born Edmund Holovchik in Long Island, New York in 1928, he was an
orphan who took up bodybuilding in high school and moved to Los Angeles about 1947.
Once there, he continued his bodybuilding and began a long, successful trek into the movies.
Along the way, he posed nude for physique photographers and made the burgeoning
Muscle Beach scene. Today I will post a long overdue tribute to this icon.
Thank you, Jerry. A long, varied and remarkable career. Several images I'd not seen before.
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome, David, and thank you for your comments.
DeleteWhat a truly wonderful tribute to a truly beautiful man! Bravo.
ReplyDeleteThat ocean-liner-gym song and dance number in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
is most definitely iconic gay cinema.
Thanks for your kind words. Yes, that scene is truly iconic, and I've always loved the way most of the guys in it seemed utterly unimpressed by Miss Russell.
DeleteYes. Yes. Utterly unimpressed with Miss Russell because they were like
ReplyDeleteSo Impressed with one another. Cue the gay choreographer!

Yes, that bathing suit color was no accident.
