Give or take some creases over the eyes, the huge, leathery face has hardly changed. Nor have the jutting jaw, the laconic grin, the squinting eyes blue as the big sky. The shoulders on his rangy (6 ft. 4 in.) frame still seem persuasive enough to get his football scholarship to Southern Cal renewed. He still looks born to the saddle; in The War Wagon, he mounted his horse with his own steam, while Co-Star Kirk Douglas, ten years younger, had to leap aboard his mount with the help of an unseen trampoline.

Kiotsuke! The Japanese drill sergeant called his platoon to attention so earnestly that his voice broke and the whole outfit burst into laughter. There was nothing for the sergeant to do but grin and bear it. For this was no ordinary bunch of boots, supposed to tremble at a drill instructor's every whim.

Squiggly Mouth. It may look like fun, but making commercials is usually one long, exhausting series of takes and retakes. Philip Bruns recalls the horrors of struggling to twist his squiggly mouth into a satisfied grin as he munched through five quarts of Heinz Kosher Pickles. Howard Mann, a nightclub comic with a Kosher dill nose, once had to sit patiently while makeup men reworked his uneven toes, then ran up and down a steep hill 20 times to celebrate the joys of Ting foot deodorant. During practice takes for one commercial, shmoo-shaped Peter Gumeny strung a hammock between...
