OK, who are they?

  • Max Baer (right)? Sorry, no.
  • Carmen Basilio (right)? Sorry, no.
  • Robert Ryan? Alas, no.
  • Montgomery Clift? I’m afraid not.
  • Fernando Lamas? Sorry, no.
  • Ricardo Montalban and Johnny Indrisano? (Alexa Foreman) Absolutely right! The photo, dated Feb. 13, 1950, shows Montalban working with Indrisano for the film "Right Cross." Indrisano, a veteran prizefighter, died in 1968 at the age of 62.

    Interestingly Ricardo Montalban is listed in various sources as being six feet tall. John Indrisano, who fought in the lighter weight classes is listed as being 5’9″. Now I know it could be a trick of the camera but I would say Mr. Montalban’s stature has been somewhat overstated. This wouldn’t be too unusual in Hollywood especially back in the day.
