Yul Brynner

The King and I

You'll remember the Yul guy

Being a baldy

Has respectability
He was Rameses II
In the 10 Commandments

He was Magnificent

One of the 7

His commanding stance

Across the distance

Sharp eyes piercing

Sets the skyline burning

A semblance of authority

Of Hollywood's fraternity

Not just an accomplished actor

But also a photographer

Such is the aura

Of an icon from Mongolia

Where he claimed part ancestry

But Russian-born in reality
