HBO Hoyt Richards was the quintessential “all-American” guy. Tall, tan and blond, Richards was awarded a football scholarship to Princeton before becoming the world’s first male supermodel — jet-setting all over the world to work campaigns for top fashion houses such as Versace, Valentino, Ralph Lauren and Burberry, and posing for the likes of Helmut Newton and Steven Meisel. He was raking in millions of dollars and became the envy of many. Little did any of them know that nearly every dollar the model made was going toward a doomsday cult involving alien UFOs, drug-fueled sexcapades, an illicit gem business and a charismatic leader who claimed to be an E.T. from the star Arcturus.
