Musings!


Michael Forest as Apollo in the STAR TREK episode, WHO MOURNS FOR ADONAIS? (1967)

Michael Forest died on October 14 at the age of 97. Michael was known for four PEPLUM type of works. The aforementioned STAR TREK episode that is considered a classic. Michael really looked like Apollo. Note: Michael once contacted me on Facebook. Yes, it was him. RIP, Apollo!



Michael was in a Roger Corman production, THE SAGA OF THE VIKING WOMEN AND THEIR VOYAGE TO THE WATERS OF THE GREAT SEA SERPENT (1958)



Michael also starred in ATLAS (1960), a Roger Corman knock-off of PEPLUM movies. It's difficult to find sharp images of this movie. 


Looks more like Steve Reeves...



He also starred in HECTOR THE MIGHTY (1972), which was the re-telling of HELEN OF TROY in a modern setting of bikers.
