Terry Fury, Royale's Up and Coming, Young Bodybuilder
 |
| Terry Fury by Royale Studio ca.1959 |
Photographs of bodybuilder, Terry Fury, taken by Royale Studio were published in several physique magazines in 1959-60* and he received much praise for his promising physique development. No background information about him was provided, however, and he doesn't seem to have posed again for any studio, so, despite his smooth physique and youthful looks, he might have been forgotten were it not for his appearing in one of Royale's most tantalising storyettes - the Deserter and the Redcap, starring Tibor Urgay. For more details on these two photo-sets, follow the links shown below to the Royale gallery articles.
*There is an entry in the Royale Catalogue for a model called Ted Fury, dated January 1960, which exactly matches Terry Fury's appearances in the beefcake press. Ted's photo set was shared with 3 other models and unfortunately it was John Dawe who was chosen to illustrate the set in the Catalogue, so we don't have an image of Ted for verification. However, given the date match and Royale's propensity for calling their models 'Ted', it seems more than probable that Ted and Terry Fury are one and the same man.
Terry was also misnamed as 'Harold Masters' in Vim (April '60) which, if it's ironic, might be a clue to his casting in the MP & Deserter storyette. It's quite likely that these mis-namings are two more examples of Royale's 'Joke Names'
