Check out more of Jeff in the guy-ery above...

I'd never heard of Jeff Richards until watching parts of The Opposite Sex (1956) last night—it's a musical remake of The Women (1939) with Joan Collins in the Joan Crawford role and Agnes Moorehead as the Countess. It's an all-star, nearly all-dead (only Joan, Barrie Chase and the kid seem to be alive) cast, but I was most taken with square-jawed Jeff Richards.

Richards is best known for Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), but had been a ball player before trying his hand at the movies.

Poor guy died in his sixties. But he sure was perfection early on.
