Los Angeles, 1948. "Shower ends Lex's non-acting day that includes lifting weights, punching bag and many other exercises." From photos by Maurice Terrell for the Look magazine assignment "Lex Barker: Princeton-Bred Tarzan." View full size.
Lex: On those second floor lintels between the lally columns, do you want we should rabbet them or not?
Cary Grant: [blank stare] the second floor lallies?
Lex: Second floor lintels between the lallies.
Cary: [Confused] Oh the lintels between the lallies....
Lex: Yeah, from the blueprints you can't tell. You want they should be rabbeted?
Cary: [More confused] Uh...No, no...I guess not.
Lex: Okay, you're the doctor. Hey fellas! You got any of those rabbeted lintels set, rip em out!

Showering in a towel, now everyone will be doing it!
Maurice Terrell you say? Seems rather Lieutenant Whitman-esque to me.
Versus jungle loincloth. With Virginia Huston (below) in Tarzan movie #3 of 5, Tarzan's Peril (1951).
This photo beats the one of the guy washing his car. Keep 'em coming!
