a guitarist, a bodybuilder

Al Casey: Atmospheric session guitarist who worked with many leading American performers from the Sixties, including Duane Eddy, the Beach Boys, the Everly Brothers, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin. Recorded "Surfin' Hootenanny."

Mickey Hargitay: Champion bodybuilder, actor husband of Jayne Mansfield, played Vegas with Mae West, starred in "Bloody Pit of Horror" (1965), father of Mariska Hargitay. He was spotted in the Vegas show by Jayne, who, when asked what she would like to have, reputedly answered, "I'll have a steak and the man on the left."

I've been buying my greenery from Mickey Jr. up on the corner of Fountain and Sycamore (near La Brea) since the early 1980's. Never met Mariska, though. He's got great plants and accessories, at a reasonable price.
 
I saw Mickey & Jayne from a distance in Atlantic City in 1962 or 63, they were on the beach demonstrating a line of exercise equipment, they had drawn a big crowd for it. Mickey's muscles for the girls, Jayne's everything for the guys.
