Writer Harper Scott

Remember when pants were worn so tight that VPL was a given? And what a VPL Rex gave us!

I never understood the fuss over him.

And I know people that worked with him and said he was one of the biggest assholes they'd ever worked with on any show.

So would I, R3. So would I...

In terms of Solid Gold hosts, Andy Gibb gave better chest.

Rex is remembered for his appearance in Pirates of Penzance on Broadway, but Andy Gibb took his role for the LA production, R6. He was beautiful, and he and co-star Pam Dawber made a lovely pair.

R1, if you never understood the fuss, check below his belt at the OP.

He sells real estate still IIRC

The back cover of Rex's "Forever" record album got my young prepubescent loins quivering. Years later, I saw him on some soap opera and the earlier attraction had dissipated.

Rex is one of those old former celebrities who is trying to cheat the aging process and stay looking young. Sadly it's not working

Huge dick. My friend saw it. He was not shy about showing it off.

Can anyone imagine how often he got laid? Probably never needed to jack off.

Holy shit that picture at R14.

His storyline on ATWT (The Carolyn Crawford murder), was tedious. I fast-forwarded it when it was on.

When I was about five years old my older sisters and I watched 'Sooner or Later' with the girl from Archie Bunker's Place (not Stephanie, the older one) and Rex sang that 'Take My Breath Away' song, which I believe was his only hit. The only other thing I recall is that the girl was so depressed one night she ate an entire sheet cake by herself. I was impressed by that.

Rex with a shirt buttoning strategy that I don't think is entirely successful.

Even when he was young and had a beautiful body, his face was always cartoonish. He was one of those boys who might have been beautiful but had zero sexual heat.

Rex and I had lots of fun back in his Pirates days. I'm female and yes, it was huge.

This was a nice song in 1978/79

R19 - I had the 45 of Take My Breath Away. I remember the song being so much better than it really is.

He's a bit before my time, but damn that is one hot man

I remember Rex Smith & Rachel Sweet's "Everlasting Love." My older sister would play that damn record over and over.

He looks like Putin in R20's photo.

From Wikipedia:

Smith also has a son by Karen Lakey, a record-company representative with whom he had a weekend affair. Their son, Brandon, was born in 1980. Father and son met for the first time in 1997, during Smith's appearance in the musical Sunset Boulevard when he was signing autographs.

Smith is the brother of Michael Lee Smith, the singer of rock band Starz.

R28, to make his midline look like a giant suture scar from neck to south of the navel.
