Alejandro Ray in "My Sister, The Sister" episode


"My Sister, The Sister" was an episode from season one (aired 1-25-68) in which Sister Betrille's sister (who is an MD) comes to San Juan for a few days, enroute to working in some small villages in Brazil via the Peace Core. Of course, she meets Carlos Ramirez and he falls in love with her - but not she with him.

In this scene, we finally see some nice takes of Alejandro Rey without his shirt on - a rather big deal in the 60s. Most of the season - when he's on the beach with a girl or on his boat - he is always in long sleeves and a crew-cut jersey (or in a shirt and tie).

What a body on this guy! Beautifully sculpted slightly hairy chest, tight abs and he wasn't waxed down to nothing like today's 30-somethings (Rey was 37 when this first season was shot in 1967). And this was a good 10-12 years BEFORE guys were going to the gym to work on their chest, arms and abs!!! This sexy Latino was on to something. It's too bad he didn't go much further in the following 20 years...
