The Making of a Male Model

Making of a Male Model is a campy made-for-TV movie that became an instant cult classic because of the tragic and unfortunate death a year later of co-star Jon-Erik Hexum. In the film (produced by legendary producer Aaron Spelling), Hexum plays Tyler, a young ranch-hand in Nevada who is discovered by Kay, a seductive modeling agent and owner of a chic Manhattan modeling agency, played by Joan Collins. She persuades him to leave his quiet life to begin a modeling career in New York. Not only is the move the start of a new life for Tyler but also the beginning of a new love affair with Kay. Tyler falls into the fast life of modeling, becoming an overnight sex symbol and sought-after male model. But he doesn't like the fast-paced life and longs for a woman to settle down with in Nevada. Find out if Tyler can remain the biggest male model in the industry and if Kay is the woman who can give him all his heart desires.
