Mae West: Salvatore De Guarda's Phallic Symbol

What Would Mae West Think of Salvatore De Guarda's Phallic Symbol?
.
Actor Salvatore DeGuarda parlayed his swimming skills into a movie career, taking roles as "John Dexter," and he now looks back with great fondness at that remarkable experience of his life. . . .
.
A member of the Stunt Man Hall of Fame for his work in movies, Salvatore DeGuarda had a leading role in "Buffalo Bill Rides Again" and was with Mae West in her film "The Heat's On." You can find his name in countless movies from the 1940s. He also lived with the famous actress, along with some other people, for a year, and has a pile of interesting stories. He doesn't deny taking Mae West up on her offer to "come up and see" her sometime.
.
Nonetheless, if he is able to raise the $4 million it will cost to build a giant replica of a statue that was already awesome in 1939, he will go down in history with a legacy that transcends being a former movie actor who was briefly associated with the original Hollywood sex goddess. . . .

  1. I was surprised, and happy, to see your comments on Sal DeGuarda! I happen to be a friend of his, and produced a video featuring him remembering his days swimming with Ester Williams and the Billy Rose Aquacade in 1940 on Treasure Island in San Francisco. You can see his video on our website at: www.redponymedia.com
