From Olympian to Movie Star

Athletes have been glorified since the beginning of time. Many athletes have gone into the movies after being champions in Olympic events. Why, the first two Tarzans - Buster Crabbe and Johnny Weissmuller - were Olympic swimmers. And, let’s not forget Esther Williams who made a fortune swimming in movies!   Go figure!

But I want to talk about The World’s Greatest Athlete in 1976 - Bruce Jenner who chose to star in television!  Yep, young people - the dad on The Kardashians was once admired for his amazing athletic abilities.

I am so old, I remember Bruce before plastic surgery when he was one fine specimen of a man! It’s too bad the decathlon superman botoxed himself into, yet another, unrecognizable Hollywood plastic face.  What a waste of a great athlete.
