Richard Simmons has died, one day after his 76th birthday. Long ago, he wrote a memoir which included a chapter on his becoming an Italian movie star. He was terribly overweight at the time, living in Italy. He was hired to play a meatball in a series of Italian TV commercials, then, I don't think he mentioned the name of the movie, but he appeared in Felini Satyricon (1969). I've seen it a couple of times. I knew he was in it but didn't spot him. That's him in the movie in the photo above. I just looked for it on streaming video but it's unavailable.
