Oscar worthy. :)

You mean Oscar-worthy like this guy who became a billionaire and world renowned superstar in the same era? :)

They were good actors, but not better than Arnold

There's not much of a relationship between Oscar worthy acting ability, being a superstar and making lots of money as a celebrity in movies. It's rare, but some have accomplished this.
George Clooney is the highest-paid actor in the world, having earned $239 million before taxes in 2018. He won Best Supporting Actor in 2006 for his role in Syriana.
Jack Nicholson — 3 wins, 12 nominations
As the world's highest-paid actress, Johansson pocketed $56 million in 2018, nearly all thanks to her role as Black Widow. She won many awards, but no Oscars.
Katherine Hepburn won the most Oscars for best actress with a total of 4. Can't compare earnings since she's from a different time period. Meryl Streep is right behind Katherine with 3 Oscars. She's also earned 18 nominations, more than any other actress. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Streep's fortune is valued at $90 million.

Billionaire?

Good catch! Arnold's net worth is $400 million. He has a ways to go before he's a billionaire. Regardless, he makes me look like a pauper. :)

Does anyone know if the Barbarian Brothers were married and had kids?
Does anyone know more about their backgrounds like who their parents were? Where did they live in SoCal ?

They were in the educational fields, but I always got the feeling there was some old family money there.

And this might be it -
Their Grandfather on the mother's side was a major car dealer it seems -
"A familiar family name, synonymous with selling cars in central Connecticut for 68 years, is gone from the business scene.
Grody Chevrolet Inc. had been on Raymond Road in West Hartford for the past 50 years, but now is Crowley Chevrolet Geo. Israel S. Grody began selling cars in 1924 at his Bloomfield gasoline station, where he also sold hay and grain. His son, M. Leonard Grody, succeeded him. Leonard Grody's widow, Rachel Grody, was running the dealership when it changed hands.
Grody's familiar art deco logo is still atop the dealership building in West Hartford. Although the name on the sign will eventually be changed, what Israel Grody and his successors accomplished will always be part of West Hartford's business history" .

Thanks for the info! I always thought there was family money too. Those guys just bodybuilding and making
those movies that didn't make much money.

Peter seems to be living in a nice house so he probably is living off trust fund money. He sure as Hell isn't earning anymore.

I can see what you are ramping up to but they are not known, practicing or even latent homosexuals. Sorry to let the wind out of your sail.

Connecticut, but the family had adventures all over New England. There's some sort of family connection to Rhode Island though, and the brothers had a gym there, and spent some of their school years there.
Now that Stunt mentioned it, I do remember them having a doll they were developing, but it was in the mid 90's, so you can't really bring anything up about it. It would be in the Ironman or MuscleMag gossip pages of the time.

They were complete pussies. This guy tells a funny story from the 80s @53:00, how a footballer called Lyle Alzado knocked them out both in a split second with one single flat hand slap at the Golds Gym parking lot in front of everyone after an argument in the gym (those were supposedly the days when you felt like you were at a Gorilla zoo @Golds).

he seemed like a nice guy.
-
I think lyle A really upped the dose after he did poorly in a strongest man in the nfl contest. I think Mike Webster might have won it.

Worn Deep Dish type plates always look great in shots like that.

It was Mike Webster. They say the period after that contest, and the late 80's comeback were the 2 times he really upped the dose. A number of old timers from Gold's swore he was the first guy they saw with a big, consistent real growth hormone stash in the late 80's.
Rob Huizenga, former team physician for the Los Angeles Raiders describing cleaning out Lyle Alzado's stash with his wife -
"She brought in an entire shopping bag chock full of every conceivable bulking concoction. There were thousands of dollars worth of Genentech growth hormone vials, all interestingly enough marked "No Sale," meaning they were samples off some pediatric endocrinologist's shelf, or else stolen from an ongoing drug trial.
There were five types of oral anabolic steroids and sixteen types of injectable steroids, some of them veterinary with pictures of horses on the boxes. The labels were from West Germany, East Germany, France, Mexico, Italy, and the U.S.A. There was extract from pregnant women's urine that prevented the testicles from shrinking. There was an estrogen hormone blocker, tamoxifen, prescribed typically for women who have had breast cancer to help prevent a recurrence, but used by weight lifters to try to prevent "bitch tits"—the painful swellings and breast enlargement resulting from partial conversion of steroids into estrogen.
There was thyroid medicine. There was pain medicine. There was an asthma medicine from Canada, rumored to increase strength. There were boxes of syringes. There were pads of papers with various "stacking" schemes—schemes for taking handfuls of different steroids simultaneously, in hopes of more muscle and fewer side effects.
About half the drugs had come from the refrigerator; the rest had been hidden under the kitchen sink, in the bathroom, under the bed, and behind Lyle's trophies. Some small-town pharmacies don't have this selection of drugs.".

They had almost perfect physiques in those movies. They had almost perfect leaner bodies later on. Great genetics.

Lyle Alzado had a wife?

David is the one that passed away, but I can never tell who is david and who is peter?...
And who is Paul?
-
Lyle Alzado had a wife?
3 actually. He'd only be married to each of them for a year or two. He also had a son, big blonde kid. I'm not sure which wife is the one mention in that paragraph, they were all around to comfort Lyle toward the end.

And who is Paul?
Real name Palpin.

^^^He claimed steroids caused his cancer. The rumors were that he contracted AIDS from sex in gay bathhouses. He probably was ashamed of having AIDS and his tough guy image being tarnished so he agreed to be an anti steroid spokes person if they kept his secret.
