‘Making of a Male Model’ (1983)- ABC Sunday Night TV Movie starring Joan Collins, Jon-Erik Hexum & Jeff Conaway

Prime wanking material !

Puddy was in it?

It had a cheesy and tacky poster/cover that was perfect for that time period of the 80s.

I love in the photo at r3 the men are undressed but Joan is covered up with clothing and a wig to the point of stifling.

Well she is their agent. They are models. The agent isn’t unclothed.

Was Joan already in Dynasty when she did this?

I was disappointed that Michael Ives and Jeff Aquilon weren’t in the movie.

Why would you be disappointed that two people not meant To be in the movie weren’t in the movie? They cast a few male models to play male models in the movie. They can’t cast every single male model. It wasn’t a documentary and they weren’t Playing themselves

I love the part where they all get molested by Bruce Weber

Joan looks like she's going to film Little House on the Prairie during her lunch break.

The guys in this movie looked more like Chippendales dancers than actual male fashion models.

Not that I was complaining.

Were they all homosexual?

The thing tied around her neck is like a priest's bands.

What a ridiculously bad film

R12, nobody was gay in 80s fare like this. Nobody.

Arte Johnson, Roxie Roker, Jeff Conaway, Joan Collins, and Patrick Warburton!

TV icons of the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s!

PLUS Ted McGinley, who spanned all those eras except the 60s!

I bet Joan fucked all the men as well.

She was a huge sex symbol at this point, appearing in Playboy around this time.

Collins meeting Hexum nearly led to his being cast on Dynasty as Dex, I think.

What a butterfly effect. Had he joined, he never would have done Cover Up. 😑

He’d be alive today playing hot daddies

Warburton was so hot in the sone!

Arte Johnson was already a has-been by then.

Maybe Hexum took the potion from Death Becomes her, actually listened to the "now a warning" speech and still looks like that.

This TV movie has everything!

This is all I needed to see to say, "I'm in!"

I love the stock 1980s opening credits music that sounds more like intro music for a detective series than for a TV movie about a male model.

So sexy

Hexum was the blonde version of JFK Jr…in other words, both men were almost unsurpassably beautiful.

He's hardly blond in this.

He's taller than I thought.

Why did they ask Joan to do an American accent?

probably to differentiate her from Alexis.

Joan might have enjoyed the challenge.

Hexum was beautiful. It HURT when he died. I loved that show Voyagers! where he traveled around time with the kid.

Hexum's head never did anything for me.

such a waste, and a stupid senseless death. a beautiful man gone and yet the ugly useless live on.

Jack was a God Damn God

In a surviving lettter Hexum wrote to a friend describing MMM as sleazy trash,Joan Collins as not very nice and he did it for the money.

Ted McGinley didn't do shirtless as often as one might think

probably to differentiate her from Alexis.

Also her makeup and hair is less here.

[quote]Hexum's head never did anything for me.

He used his teeth too much and didn't swallow?

And here I had thought he did it just for the love of art!

That monologue Jeff Conaway has about the perils of modeling is just deadly.

R34 where is this letter?

28 year old face with a 35 year old body.

Hexum would have ended up on Dynasty (or The Colbys) had he lived. That ridiculous Cover Up tv show was cursed. The guy who replaced him died of AIDS.

Pretty. Bet he made a few bucks "bartending" in Hollywood before he became famous.

R42 years later. AIDS isn’t an accident.

I think he said that Joan said to him, 'Darling, I can't do ALL the acting in this'.

It was trash but it was also trash-tastic, and yes, actors do trash and art for money.

He calls the two make-up guys fairies which I guess is better than fags.

R38 no. He did Merv on the Green Room floor for the love of art.

Talking fatal head wounds.

R7 "I was disappointed that Michael Ives and Jeff Aquilon weren’t in the movie. "

You mean these guys?

Making Of A Male HOMOSEXUAL

Jeff Conaway is the true tragedy here.

Hexum was a good looking retard.

This party is a bunch of weirdos and queers!

Jeff Conaway chewing up the scenery in this one!
