Robby Benson is a Senior Citizen Today

He gave me wood as a gayling.

Oh, Robby! My 12 year old penis ached for you!

He looks hotter now

Silver fox

My first crush! I watched Ode to Billie Joe on Wednesday. He was(is!) beautiful.

That was a hot piece of twink ass.

Still gorgeous. Loved his sensitivity in films.

"His wife Karla" is a famous singer in her own right.

Robbie and her met when they did Pirates of Penance on Broadway together in the early 80's.

She's probably most famous for being the chick in Meatloaf's Paradise by the Dashboard light video.

He showed dong, you know.

No gay rumors? Anyway, he's been gorgeous all his life.

He was raped by Roscoe P. Coltrane in "Ode to Billy Joe."

R7. “Robbie and her”?

Did you star in Hillbilly Elegy?

A memoir about his medical condition and operations doesn't sound very thrilling. There are other parts of his life that I'd be far more interested in reading about.

I hate that bitch Karla as much as I hate that other bitch Nadia Comeneci (for marrying Bart Connor).

Hate!

He played gay in Ode.

[quote]He showed dong

Where?

In his book, he talks about the Broadway musical The Rothschilds, which he was in 1970ish. He said there was a certain Tony Winning actor in the show with him, and that the Tony winner was always begging him to let him suck his cock and he would return the favor.

At first I thought he meant Hal Linden, but Hal Linden is spoken of very kindly in the book. Robby liked him. More likely, he's talking about Keene Curtis, a tony-winner who was also in the show with him.

Yes, I actually kindled his autobiography. The poor guy was hounded by Jon Peters. He also fell madly in love with everyone of his female co-stars. I like him most in One on One.

Is Hal Linden gay? I know Keene Curtis was.

He definitely survived the Jewish male curse of handsome young Jewish men hitting a brick wall in the looks department by their late 30s/early 40s. He is just staggeringly gorgeous as a 65 year old.

What do you mean "hounded by Jon Peters", r17? You mean sexually pursued? Jon Peters is bi?

ODE TO BILLY JOE’s trailer...

R15, I thought it was in Running Brave, but apparently the frontal shot was an outtake.

He aged very, very well. Doesn't look like he's had masses of plastic surgery - if any.

Very handsome man with good genes.

I can't believe Robby Benson is 65.

I can't believe a 65 year old man is still being called Robby.

He is a hot 65.......used to think Dennis Quaid was a sexy older guy but he has had surgery/fillers and now looks like he is in competition with Mickey Rourke for face work.....RB looks almost sexier now than he did back in the “One on One” & “Ice Castles” period./.

That's a good looking 65 year old.

Love him. Happy Birthday Robby.

R20. Jon Peters is not gay, of course, but he wanted certain favors from Benson to circulate with gay colleagues. Peters cast him in Walk Proud to play a Latino character which Benson regretted. When he did not acquiesce to Peters demand, the producer black-balled him and this damaged Benson's acting career.

70s interview from Bandstand. Beautiful eyes, sexy drawl (Texas?).

Why didn't he have a better career I wonder?

Too good looking/pretty?

Not sure R30. Maybe the health issue? It is a fairly severe one to have.

He had a varied career, and has had a life with Karla DeVito for what seems like forever. I hope he has the life and career he chose to have.

When I was younger he had no appeal in the looks department for me.

Aside from The Chosen (1982) I never thought much of his acting abilities. Only now with age do I appreciate how going looking he was and still is.

R28 please forgive me for not being insightful enough but when you said "certain favors from Benson to circulate with gay colleagues" was Peters trying to pimp out Robby with influential gays? I'm not familiar with the goings on in Hollywood especially back in the day.

R33, R28 seems to be willfully obscure.

But he still has abs right?

He is 65? Oh my God how old is that make me?

In his autobiography "I'm Not Dead Yet", Benson does not go into great detail in terms of what/who he was to go out with, but he does make it sound like Peters was trying to pimp him out. He did not specify who he was to meet. He also said that he was often asked to strip naked for roles - this when he was very young (teenager). I'll read that part over and try to add more info - but it was not a long chapter or anything.

I envy him for his thick head of hair at that age.

That voice is like velvet.

His youthful photo is next to the word "dreamy" in the dictionary.

And yet another example of a star who is far better looking and hotter today, imho, than they were in their youth.

Others: George Clooney, John Stamos, Ashton Kutcher, Topher Grace just off the top of my head.

My wife was an extra in “Jeremy” and was very jealous of his haircut.

R37, having teens strip naked for roles is my kind of casting.

The drummer in our band was a dead-ringer for Benson. Swarmed by girls and guys alike.
