@ironhistory1: s is a short one from the Osmo Kiiha film collection. Rocky Kent - real name William H. Smith is a little known bodybuilder from Canada that appeared in Bob Hoffman's Strength and Health and Weider's Your Physique magazines in 1951. Not only is he notable for his physique but also one of the early and many people caught between the Hoffman/Weider feud. In the September 1951 issue of Strength and Health a copy of a letter sent to Rocky from Joe Weider is shown. In the letter Joe is threatening Rocky with legal and deportation action if Rocky ever "writes or signs anything against" him. S&H writes that in their last letter from Rocky he was being detained my immigration authorities and he attributes that to Joe Weider. There is one more brief note on Rocky in a 1953 issue of Strength and Health saying he will be back within the year. That is the last mention of him I have on record.
