I have "Jack Fontan" for this model and the following additional information: Jack Fontan was a dancer in "South Pacific" in 1948. He was the one with the shorts cut so high his nuts showed to the front row.
Mr. Fontan became locally famous as "The Naked Sailor," and New York gays in the know snapped up close in tickets for the stage play. Here's an link with a bit about that and more on Mr. Fontan's life: https://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/2083849.html
The Director Joshua Logan received complaints about Fontan's revealing attire in the Broadway production. Logan told the box-office "if they don't want to see his balls, they can have their money back!" -Rj
Jack Fontan faisait partie du cercle intimé d'amis et d'amants de Platt Lynes à New York, qui comprenait Paul Cadmus et Lincoln Kirstein. Fontan a utilisé ses charmes sexuels pour leur favors, comme d'autres dans le cercle de Platt Lynes. -Beau Mec à Deauville
