Print
Muscle Beach Hall of Famer Eddie Giuliani passed away on Sunday, May 1, 2022. The cause of death has yet to be determined.
At the age of 87 at the time of his death, Eddie was born in 1935 in Brooklyn, New York. He later moved to California to focus on his bodybuilding career.
Eddie began competing in 1951 as a junior in the AAU. His career spanned 4 decades and concluded in 1982 when he took 5th place at the Mr. Universe. In that 30 year career, Eddie took home quite a few IFBB titles including the Overall at the 1965 Mr. Northeastern States, 1968 Junior Mr. America, the Overall at the 1974 Mr. Western America and the 1975 NABBA Mr. World.
But he was probably best known for his appearance in the 1977 bodybuilding movie Pumping Iron which featured many greats from the golden era including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Franco Columbu, Lou Ferrigno and many more. Eddie also appeared in a couple of other movies; Pumping Iron II: The Women in 1985 and Standing Tall in 1997.
Eddie Giuliani was inducted into the Muscle Beach Hall of Fame in 2012 by Oscar-winning actor Al Pacino.
All of us at Muscle Insider offer our deepest condolences to Eddie Giuliani's family friends and fans. R.I.P.
