Born in the Bronx on 4 March 1933, gorgeous Richard DuBois caught Mae West's eye in 1954. The 6-foot-one stunner who had just won his "Mr. America" title was hired to be the lead bodybuilder for "The Mae West Revue." Off the set, 21-year-old Dick DuBois and the 61-year-old Brooklyn bombshell enjoyed a steamy relationship. (When DuBois left the show, Mickey "Mr. Universe" Hargitay took his place as the lead gladiator.)
In 1957, when DuBois was crowned Mr. USA at the Shrine Auditorium, Muscle Power Magazine praised his "good biceps," "well proportioned figure" and "greatly improved posing." Four years earlier, DuBois had won the Amateur Athletic Union Mr. America bodybuilding contest and scooped the Mr. America trophy the next time around.
During the 1950s and early 1960s, DuBois was a much sought-after pin-up and physique model who appeared in magazines often.
