FROM AN ESSAY on how ripped today's male movie stars are:
It wasn't always this way. The silent-movie star Rudolph Valentino had the body of . . .
. . . a philosophy grad student coming off a two-week flu. . . .
In the 1960s, when Steve McQueen, Gregory Peck or Kirk Douglas popped off his stop, we saw a man whose workout routine consisted of a few jumping jacks by the Beverly Hills Hotel pool, then walking to the gift shop for cigarettes.
