Descendant of a long line of fiddling Fiedlers (his father and two uncles were violinists with the B.S.O.), Arthur studied at Berlin's Royal Academy of Music, joined the Boston Symphony in 1915 and played musical chairs (violin, viola, celesta, piano, organ and percussions) before he founded the open-air Esplanade Concerts in 1929 and began luring up to 20,000 persons across the Arthur Fiedler Bridge to the banks of the Charles River for free concerts.

It's just that buff looks best on Brigitte Bardot, 29. But when a cameraman dropped in by invitation at her rented beach house near Rio, Brigitte pulled on a striped T shirt, tight and faded blue jeans and above-the-knee boots, just the getup for a tropical beach scene.
