Models & Movies....
I'm guessing most of you don't recognize the model, but I'm thinking many of you might recognize the photographer. If you guessed photographer Robert John Guttke, then I'm guessing you're a regular reader of the site and a fan of great artists who chronicle the male form.
Now here's the bonus question. Thanks to Robert, this model's naked derriere had it's debut on the big screen in a 1991 comedy. Stumped..... find out on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
Beneath Those Manholes, A Man-eater Is Waiting ...
'It's 36 feet long, weighs 2000 pounds, lives 50 feet below the city. Nobody knows it's down there except the people it eats...'
A couple of weeks ago, someone I follow on Twitter posted a scene from the 1980 horror flick Alligator. The scene was from the climatic ending, (below) when the 36 ft long beast causes carnage after dropping in on an afternoon garden party. I'd never seen the movie before, but when I was a kid, always loved those old 'animal' goes wild movies that they'd sometimes play on tv on the weekends.
Many were from the 70's and 80's and most were low budget and often cringe worthy. Most featured a a bear, a snake, or some spiders or bees that end up going wild killing everyone they encountered. In Alligator, a pet baby alligator is flushed down the toilet, and survives in the city sewers. Thanks to a diet of discarded laboratory dogs injected with grown hormones, after twelve years, it's hungry and humans are now on the menu.
There were three actors that grabbed my attention, two I'd profiled before, and one, I was introduced to for the same time. Blond cutie Perry Lang played Officer Jim Kelly, and spoiler alert, his character has an unfortunate encounter in the sewers. Some of you might remember my Blast from the Past piece on Lang, (HERE:) featuring his butt baring scenes in the 1980's comedies Teen Lust and Spring Break.
PetersenActor Pat Petersen also has a small role as Joey in the film. Alligator was made about the same time Petersen was making his debut as Michael Fairgate on Knots Landing. Petersen was about 14 at the time of filming, but we all watched him grow into a hottie during his time on the prime-time soap. Sadly, Patersen seems to have left the business, with his last role being in the Knots Landing reunion move in 1997. You can check out my previous piece on Pat Petersen HERE:
Soft Sand and Bare Skin: Zachary by Frank Joseph
I was a little confused, as in the background of many of Frank's shots was a tall hotel, with great balcony views of the stretch of beach below. Frank shared that the Haulover beach in Miami beach, and is one of the most well known nude beaches in the country. Frank also believes the building is not a hotel, but instead most likely a residential condominium. I couldn't help but wonder if the manger of condo's try to hide the views of the nude beach, or use it as a selling point....
