"Wasn't he banging Imelda Marcos....?"
Could be~ come to think of it, that may be how he long ago got his job as official spokesman for "The Leather Sole Council" (no joke, look it up)Or maybe he wanted to get close to her to "do research" since she had more pairs of shoes than the Phillipines had nursing students-to-be/ Dancing with Imelda ( saw the pictures), shoes, leather soles tested for danceworthiness..,,,may all have helped lead him to his recent role as contestant in the Dancing with the Stars show. All in all, one of the strangest showbiz careers ever......he played everything from Hank Williams, to Evel Knievel to the American version of Raskolnikov in "Crime and Punishment USA"---(once again,look it up)
I just never saw ANYONE list his name as being a Vietnam draft dodger---maybe he was unfit for service due to being too tan.---I have herewith and for all perpetuity tapped my George Hamilton vein, which I didn't even know I had.
He was actually a pretty big star for a year or two when he did "Love at First Bite" and "Zorro : The Gay Blade."
