A couple of pieces from two different magazines reported the news that the World Champion Boxer of 1919, Jack Dempsey(1889 – 1958).
In years to come, other athletes would follow in his steps to Hollywood; his fellow boxer Gene Tunney would follow him out there eight years later (The Fighting Marines). Swimmers Buster Crabbe (Buck Rogers) and Johnny Weissmuller (Tarzan) got the fever and came out during the early days of sound movies.
