NY Times Obit:
For about 15 years beginning in the late 1940s, Mr. Horne was ubiquitous, perhaps the most widely seen male model in the country, appearing in hundreds of advertisements in magazines and newspapers, on billboards and catalog covers, in television commercials and industrial brochures. He died on Dec. 29 in Manhattan, at 91. His wife of 45 years, Francesca Marlowe Horne, said the cause was cancer, but added that he also had congestive heart failure.

Perhaps our most oft-cited Freerepublic icon. Rest in peace, FRiend.
Kind of cool that he made it to 91, though.

Man, so much for my SEARCH.
Sorry guys.
To: autumnraine
Fascinating. I wouldn’t even have guessed he was even still alive.
Rest well, Mr. Horne. As long as there is “this s**t” to be lamented, you will live on to help us lament it.

He was really good looking! I would love to know what ad that Aw Jeez look was REALLY from, does anyone know?
To: autumnraine
A male model who was marred to a WOMAN for 45-years?
Oh, I guess the QUEER male models are a post-1960s phenomenon.
Rest in Peace.
To: mikrofon
I wonder if he knew how popular his pic was on the internet. For some reason, I remember seeing him in ads; my father must have had some really old magazines. I wasn’t born until ‘64.
