TY HARDIN....Bronco in hotpants

'Cinema History' research for this afternoon: I was always a big fan of Glynis Johns......and reading about her led to several associations with Ty Hardin, a popular 1950's and 60's T.V. star.....Remembering 'Hardin' (aka 'Hardon'), who seemed to always appear, shirtless and in the emerging, fashion-trending "Hot Pants"...or in cowboy hat with cartridge belt....and, of course, 'shirtless'.......I wondered 'what happened to Ty Hardin.....born as Orison Whipple Hungerford, Jr.    What a Life! at least 6 wives, one of them a former Miss Universe, Marlene Schmidand, 10 children with them.....After his 'hot cowboy stud' roles that lasted into his thirties, he later owned a chain of laundromats, in Spain.....was jailed for drug trafficking. (found with 25 kilos of hashish in his car).......then, became a born-again Christian minister......Who next.....to research...? How about Estelle Winwood?
