Brief Introduction of Max Baer
Maximilian Adelbert Bear, also known as Max Bear, was a professional wrestler in America. Max Bear is best known for fathering Max Bear Jr., the actor who played Jethro Bodine on the classic television show The Beverly Hillbillies (1962). Old-timers, devotees of the sweet science, and viewers of the 2005 film Cinderella Man all know that Max Sr. was the world heavyweight champion for only 364 days, from the time he knocked out Primo Carnera on June 14, 1934, to the day he lost his title to Jimmy Braddock on June 13, 1935.
Max will be remembered for his numerous cameo roles in films, including Bud Abbott and Lou Costello’s Africa Screams (1949) and Humphrey Bogart’s near-autobiographical turn in the Budd Schulberg boxing exposé The Harder They Fall (1956). Ironically, it was his performance in the latter film that led to his portrayal as a monster in “Cinderella Man,” although, according to his family and those who knew him, he was a pleasant man.
