    1. I was the brother of a famous boxer who was famous in my own right

    2. The same hands which molded the Frankenstein monster once also molded me

    3. If I did what I did in reel life in real life it would have created a financial panic

    Yes, it is. I was hoping that not mentioning that he had been a boxer also would throw you off.

    Buddy played a monster in a movie (Giant from the Unknown) in the late fifties and he was made up by Jack Pierce who did the makeup for Karloff as the Frankenstein monster.

    As a Baer (or bear, his character name was Ursus) he killed a bull with his bare hands in the Arena in Quo Vadis--such an act would have really hurt the stock market.

    Correct. Jethro Bodine was played by Max's son, Max Baer, Jr. Buddy Baer was his uncle.
