 Steve
Reeves - 1926-2000 |
Biography
Born in Montana on January 21, 1926, actor and bodybuilder Steve
Reeves moved to California at the age of ten with his widowed
mother. He cultivated an interest in bodybuilding while in his
teens; by the time he was 17 years old,
Reeves had developed quite a Herculean build. After graduating
high school, Reeves entered the Army during the latter days
of World War II. Upon his release, Reeves decided to enter bodybuilding
contests and soon blew his competitors away, winning the titles
"Mr. Pacific Coast," "Mr. Western America,"
and "Mr. America" in 1947. He won
the "Mr. World" contest the following
year, and in 1950 he became Mr. Universe, beating Reg Park. While a
success in the sport of bodybuilding, luck with Reeves' other
interest, acting, seemed elusive. He enrolled in acting classes
and nearly landed the role of Samson in Cecil B. DeMille's Samson
and Delilah (1949), a part that was eventually won by Victor
Mature. Reeves would have to wait nearly ten years before
his second shot at stardom.
