RIP Kerwin Mathews
By Dennis Dermody
The handsome star of one of the best movies I ever saw as a child The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Kerwin Mathews, died in San Fransisco at the age of 81. His partner of 46 years, Tom Nicoll, confirmed this to the press. The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, with those glorious special effects by Ray Harryhausen, was a movie I saw countless times, and the battle with the skeleton was one of the film's high points. Also the open shirt revealing Mathews' sexy hairy chest was definitely a turn on for me as a kid. Mathews starred in another wonderful Harryhausen film: The Three World Of Gulliver. He was always one of my favorites.
