Now THAT would have been something to see! He did get a small recording contract that kept him going until landing the title role in the short-lived
Mr. Roberts tv series (it lasted only 1 year).
Shortly thereafter, he married Ann-Margret and found it not necessary to ever work again. I'm guessing he also found it not necessary to ever ogle another woman either.
