I got to see Buster Crabbe in person in the late 1950's.
Besides the Flash Gordon role, he also played as Tarzan. He was at some kind of swimming event at the East Side Boy's Club in NYC. A couple of us followed him after he left, walking to the nearest subway station at 14th Street and First Avenue. At the time, it was amazing that he used the subway.
