Unmasked

Clayton Moore (September 14, 1914 - December 28, 1999) was beloved for portraying that masked man, The Lone Ranger, on the 1950's television series of the same name; but as he demonstrates above, with Lupe "The Mexican Spitfire" Velez, he was quite a specimen when unmasked. Especially when wearing trunks with, uh, strategically placed panels.
