Eyes Wide Open

Ralph Kleiner by (I assume) Bruce of LA.  

Dreaming

Ralph Kleiner by unknown. 

Botticelli Curls

Ralph Kleiner by unknown.  I know he posed for both Bruce and Kris but I'm not getting a feel for either one of them.  This might be an early photo of Ralph.  

It's About Time

For those of you who have never seen Ralph Kleiner's butt, your wait is over and you can thank Bruce of LA.

He can bring home the bacon and fry it up in the pan.  

I found this labeled as a Bruce of LA photo, but I suspect it's from Kris of Chicago.  

Ralph Got Around

Ralph Kleiner by Bruce of LA.  Did you know Ralph did a film for Kris of Chicago in 1965?  It was called The Blue Rose.  I'm trying to find stills from that movie.  

Ralph Kleiner

Ralph Kleiner was a bodybuilder during the 1950s and participated in many contests - including two Mr. America competitions.  During that time he posed for several photographers, including Bruce and Kris.  The photos below are from Spartan of Hollywood. 

Toward the end of his career, Ralph opened a gym in Chicago.
