The real romantic heroe

I remember watching the movie Solomon and Sheba when I was a kid. Of course I couldn't forget the ecstatic dance scene by Gina Lollobrigida. 

 

However I couldn't remember who King Solomon was... so looking on the web I noticed that Tyrone Power, would play the role of King Solomon but he died in a fight scene in the heat of Spain and was replaced by Yul Brynner.

 

Although I've seen some of his films, mainly with the character Zorro, I couldn't associate him with him. I decided to look it up on the web and found it very beautiful... a real movie star! 

 

This search led me to some paper dolls published in 1941 by Merrill Publishing Company, with an incredible resemblance... and it looks like he had a great closet!  😍

 

Tyrone Power and Linda Darnell were a popular film crew and most of the costumes pictured in this issue are from their film roles. For Tyrone Power some are from "The Mark of Zorro" and "Blood and Sand". Continuing to search the web it seems he has inspired some of the most highly regarded paper doll artists. 

 

To the next!

Lembro-me de assistir ao filme Solomon and Sheba quando era criança. Claro que não me poderia esquecer da cena de dança extasiada de Gina Lollobrigida. Porem eu não conseguia lembrar-me quem era o rei Salomão... então olhando na web eu reparei que Tyrone Power, faria o papel do rei Salomão mas ele morreu numa cena de luta no calor da Espanha e foi substituído por Yul Brynner. Embora eu tenha visto alguns de seus filmes, principalmente com o personagem Zorro, não consegui associá-lo a ele. Resolvi pesquisar na web e achei-o muito bonito ... uma verdadeira estrela de cinema! Essa busca me levou a alguns paper dolls publicados em 1941 pela MERRILL PUBLISHED, com uma semelhança incrível... e parece que ele tinha um ótimo armário! Tyrone Power e Linda Darnell eram uma equipe popular em filmes e a maioria dos figurinos retratados nesta edição são de seus papéis em filmes. Para Tyrone Power alguns são de "The Mark of Zorro" e "Blood and Sand". Continuando a pesquisa na web parece que ele inspirou alguns dos mais conceituados artistas de paper dolls. Até à proxima!

My favorite paper doll theme is movie stars and celebrities.

I was browsing the internet looking for news on paper dolls when I found these that I share here. These are rarities that are the delight of any collector and unfortunately they are no longer available.

They are three world-famous body builders whose careers went through acting in movies and both were immortalized by the roles they played. Each doll has different clothes from the movies in which they acted.

Hope you like it. I loved! :-)

 O meu tema preferido em paper doll são as estrelas de cinema e as celebridades. Eu estava navegando pela internet à procura de  novidades em paper dolls quando encontrei estas que aqui partilho. São raridades que fazem as delicias de qualquer colecionador e infelizmente já não estão à venda.

São três body builders mundialmente famosos e cuja carreira passou pela representação no cinema e ambos ficaram imortalizados pelos papéis que desempenharam. Espero que gostem. Eu amei!

Clothes for George O' Mara

Hello again! 

There is another pin-up boy in the form of paper doll that I found on a postcard.

This is a 1950s vintage photo of the physical model George O'Mara, a popular 1950s bodybuilder posing for the Kris Studios (Leather Archives, Chicago) and later an actor of action movies. (I did not know about him, but I searched it up on Google and found lots of pictures of him. Hoooot!) :)

It seems to me that it was a work based on his original photo and reproduced later in Beefcake (Taschen, 1995).

Is there more about this? ;)

Olá mais uma vez! Aqui está outro pin-up boy boneco de papel que eu encontrei num postal. Esta é uma foto vintage dos anos 50 do modelo físico George O 'Mara, culturista popular dos anos 50 posando para os Kris studios (Leather Archives, Chicago) e mais tarde actor em filmes de acção.(Eu não o conhecia, mas eu procurei no Google e encontrei muitas fotos dele. Hoooot!) :)
Parece-me que é um trabalho baseado na sua foto original publicado posteriormente em Beefcake (Taschen. 1995). Será que há mais por aí? ;)
