Keith Andes

What do you mean he didn't age well?

Keith was sex on a stick in CLASH BY NIGHT. What's interesting is, it was while shooting CLASH BY NIGHT when news broke about Marilyn's earlier nude calendar spread, creating quite a scandal. But nobody bothered to check up on Andres' immediate past to see what he had been up to during his salad days.

NSFW

He was a suicide too if I recall correctly.

He was before my time, but, damn, he was hot. Those nips alone deserve special recognition.

Thanks, R2. I'm guessing he was a grower rather than a shower. Even if not, he'd have been a pleasurable mouthful.

I'm surprised he didn't kill himself after having to share the stage with Lucy in "Wildcat."

Read that he could sing very well, and did musicals on stage.

He was a fine singer. He starred in the First National Tour of Kiss Me, Kate, after which he replaced Alfred Drake in the Broadway production. He did musicals intermittently for years, including several on Broadway and a national tour of Man of La Mancha.

His chest is clean shaven in all the photos I've found on Google but I remember seeing him on TV showing quite a lush pelt of chest hair.

Glynis Johns had a short-lived sitcom in the 1960s and he played her lawyer husband. He was a frequent guest star on many TV shows back then.

It's true he committed suicide but if I remember correctly, he had cancer and other illnesses at the time.

He's in Split Second (1953) too but Alexis Smith steals that one as she fights to survive as a hostage of gangsters by trying to seduce Stephen McNally.

here's Keith in Clash by Night

Wasn't he also fucking Lucy at the time?

His nipples are another version of Andes Candies.

There's definitely been gossip around Keith and Lucy in Wildcat--who knows? Wildcat didn't run that long and that's when she got involved with Gary Morton.

Gif of Keith and Marilyn in CLASH BY NIGHT. He's strangling her with a towel and she decks him in the kisser.

BTW: Andes in R14 Gif looks like he'd give a mean fuck. He has that mean, sexy stare.

Yes, there were many rumors about Keith and Lucy during Wildcat and later he guest starred several times on The Lucy Show.

He had a sexy speaking voice.

In 2005 Andes was found dead at the age of eighty-five at his home in Newhall, Santa Clarita, California. He had been suffering from bladder cancer and other ailments and committed suicide by asphyxiation, according to a report from the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office. His remains were donated to medical science.

Keith Andes had AIDS. Of course, like other old timers he covered it up and like Liberace went to his grave denying he was an homo AIDS boy.

Yes, he did, R17.

He did a teriffic turn as an outlaw playing mind games with young Mark McCain on an episode of The Rifleman. Verrrry charismatic.

Keith in Blackbeard the pirate

Years ago I heard a rumor about Keith Andes and Tony Curtis living together. It must've been between Curtis' multiple marriages.

Keith reminds me of Mike Rowe

When I was a kid I received a book about Marilyn's films (I don't remember who gave it to me - I was a big Ladyboy fan - it [italic]could not[/italic] have come from anyone in my family though.)

It basically listed her films in chronological order with co-stars, plot rundowns and lots and lots of pictures.

The ones from "Clash by Night" with Keith strangling Marilyn with the towel... his biceps so big and bulging... I was mesmerized.

Saw the film as an adult. Decent picture. He was a good actor and yes, fine as hell.

If r19 is correct, dying of Aids at aged 85 does not seem too bad. Its all the ones who died in their 30s (like an ex partner of mine) that I feel sorry for.

I remember Andes in Back From Eternity and as the guy waiting for June Allyson (while Rosanno Brazzi romances her) in 1957's Sirk movie 'Interlude'. Clash by Night is good too, with Stanwyck as well as Marilyn!

In the 50's he was in a TV adaptation of BLOOMER GIRL with Barbara Cook.i have a video of the kinescope. He was a pretty man. He even made a pre-fat Barbara Cook look pretty.

Dude was stacked for that era.

What a hunk!

Marilyn never looked cuter than when she left the canning factory, removed the rag from her head and shook out her mop of blonde curls. She was tomboyish and adorable.

Skip Homeier was the poor man's Keith Andes.

Never heard of Keith Andes, but a beautiful man from yesteryear.

His bare chest gets lots of exposure in "Surrender-Hell!" He's more mature than in the scenes with Monroe. Yes, I would have given him anything he wanted. There are also some frontal nude photos of him in his early years. I found them on eBay. Apparently like most up and comers of the day nude modeling was a doorway, or at least paid the rent.

I didn’t think guys had bodies like that back then. He was shredded and perfectly proportioned.

Keith sings.

"Bloomer Girl" has recently been on Amazon Prime. Keith and Barbara Cook are both wonderful sing that great Harold Arlen/E.Y. Harburg score!

he was an awesome bottom. knew how to take a load like no one else. moaned like a pig in heat, and made u feel soo dam hot. he had no limits, and could go all weekend, took 31 loads once at one of Lucy's orgys….she loved hot ass

Not familiar with Keith Andes but he's a real looker with a killer bod!

In all his glory.

If he did have an affair with Lucy she had herself a younger man because he was 9 years younger than her.

Shirtless.

Lucy and Keith. She certainly has a sadsack face.

[R30] Skip Homeier was the poor man's Keith Andes. —Anonymous

They played brothers in an Outer Limits episode called "Expanding Human."

Keith Andes was the poor man's Skip Homier in that episode.

R16, On one episode, he played a new guy in town that both Lucy and Joan Blondell swooned over.

R38, Desi was 6 years younger than Lucy.

R41 Skip Homeier.

[R 44]

Was Skip Homier the poor man's Hitler there?

I always liked Skip Homeier

r2 I would've loved to have been "Lloyd."

R2 What is odd is that an older friend told me that Andes when he was a sergeant in the marines during WW2 offered himself as bait for homosexual soldiers and would rat them out if they made sexual advances. Gay Marines were warned to keep clear of Keith Andes. So he seems homophobic. He also resembles uberhunk Ken Clark of "South Pacific" and "Attack of the Giant Leeches".

That's BS.

He and Marilyn sizzled.

Did Andes do much mounting?

This could explain the reason why Lucy took on a full run starring in a musical at age 50 without the talent for singing and dancing in eight exhausting performances per week ... she needed to get out of town ( I.e. Hollywood) after the Arnaz divorce... she could have taken a Years world tour ......instead....Andes was the reason

Keith Andes got Lucy hooked on poppers.

That's a mint I'd like on my pillow.

That's a mint I'd like in my mouth.

His singing on Wildcat is seriously stupendous, not just a movie actor trying to do Broadway.

He was one of those guys, even in his prime, that was never good looking but people thought he was anyway.

r55

With Lucy in the cast, anyone is stupendous.

R56 so true! Funny how people delude themselves...he was such a con man.

I like him.

R58 I just bet you're being ironic!

I like him too. I wonder if Marilyn was attracted to him in "Clash by Night."

My baby fairy was visually stimulated by him in "Glynis" long, long ago.

he was often caught eating lucy out between scenes during the Wildcat run, it stimulated her old vagina and gave her the energy to go on.... keith was a sex magnet and fucked like a champ.

See Keith in Blackbeard the Pirate from 1952. He's shirtless in one scene and his tanned heaving chest is something to behold.

Damn, Lucille Ball was only 48 when R40's photo was taken. That's one hard looking 48 year old.

[quote] He was shredded and perfectly proportioned.

He had a quite nice body, but shredded he was not.

This is what a shredded body looks like.

I'd like to climb those Andes...
