Which future President of the U. S. posed for Look and Cosmopolitan magazines as a male model?

The future President of the United States who posed as a male model was President Gerald Ford. As a young man in his 20's during the early 1940s, eventual president Gerald Ford modeled for both Look and Cosmopolitan magazines.

In 1940, before he graduated from Yale Law School in New Haven, Connecticut, (and before his interest in politics was spurred by his volunteer work on the 1940 campaign for Wendell Willkie), Ford worked as a male model with a serious girlfriend and model, Phyllis Brown. They were in popular demand and did a pictorial series for Look Magazine. Later they appeared on the cover of Cosmopolitan. This copy of the magazine was released in April 1942. It was very popular with readers on a national level.

After Ford and Brown parted ways during WW II, Ford met another former model and dancer. He would end up marrying her. She was named Elizabeth “Betty” Bloomer Warren. Betty became Ford's wife in 1948, right before he got elected to Congress for the first time. Betty at first wanted to wait until after his campaign; she felt that her past as a dancer would be detrimental to him.
