of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lenny Hall, proudly displayed
at Marini Cafe
We
had walked past Marini Cafe hundreds of times, and
had even visited Marini dozens of times over the years,
but had never noticed the Arnold photo on the wall
- until today... amazing what you will find when you
open your eyes, and are on the lookout for news and
opportunities.
Cafe
staff and owner, Shahid, was quick to pounce on us,
as we were about to walk out, on our way to his neighboring
cafe friend, Tower, who owns and operates Beach View
Cafe.
Shahid
explained that it was some 30 years ago that Mr Schwarzengger
himself had visited in person and even posed for a
photograph with local legend Lenny Hall (see photo).
This
was likely in or around 1980 when Arnold had been
in Sydney for Mr Olympia, an event he competed in
and won in alleged controversial fashion at the Sydney
Opera House. Many has stated that Arnold shouldn't
have won that event, but knew how to work the politics
and political machine - perhaps this is true, as fast
forward to the 2003 California Recall Election, and
Arnold won that also, with a brilliant political machine
backing him all the way.
At
the time of writing we don't know many details of
local Maroubra Beach boy, Lenny Hall, however we expect
that to chance in the coming weeks, as we speak to
more locals, and ideally will eventually meet Mr Hall
himself.
Is
there no bounds to the impact Schwarzenegger has had
on the world, be it in bodybuilding, politics or "people
power".
Stay
tuned to Media Man as we hunt down more details of
these legendary figures.
