Gregory Peck

Most likely a repeat, but always worthy - silent-era Gary Cooper. It's easy to see how Cooper's shy "aw shucks" personality, both onscreen and off, often attracted the attention of women and men alike.

He was prolly at his most beautiful here. (he was handsome 2 yrs earlier in Heiress but the period clothes gave him a gaunt look) Here he was at his peak I feel. Really tragic when you look at post accident films like S L Summer, in 5 years he seems to have aged 25. Suppose his lifestyle combined with that to make things worse.

He was so sexy ,RIP

There are some people who simply project sexiness without having to put on airs. Dean was definitely one of them.

HOPE NOT TOO RECENT BUT 30+ YEARS IN FILM COULD FALL WITHIN "VINTAGE".

THIS GUY. HE'S SEX PERSONIFIED. I WAS NUTS FOR HIM BEFORE HE'D EVEN MADE A MOVIE.
I HAVE AN UNCLE WHO'S AN ACTOR. HE WAS ON SOAP OPERAS HERE (NYC). WHEN I WAS IN HS DURING EASTER BREAK HE INVITED ME TO HANG FOR THE DAY AT THE STUDIO WHERE HE WAS TAPING, WAS IN BROOKLYN I THINK.
IN THE MORNING THEY REHEARSED IN LIKE AN EMPTY ROOM WITH FURNITURE ON WHEELS. I WAS SITTING ON THE SIDE WATCHING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS GUY WALKED IN. I LOOKED AT HIM AND MY INSIDES DROPPED. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BOY I HAD EVER SEEN. JEANS AND A WHITE T-SHIRT AND WHITE SNEAKERS. HE WENT TO A TABLE IN THE BACK WITH FRUIT ON IT AND TOOK A BANANA. HE WATCHED THEM FOR A MOMENT, THEN TURNED AND LOOKED RIGHT AT ME SITTING ON A FOLDING CHAIR ON THE SIDE, GAVE ME A SMILE AND A NOD, THEN WALKED OUT. IT WAS PROLLY ALL OF 30 SECONDS.
I WAS 15ish AND HE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE THAN 22-23 I HAD NO IDEA WHO HE WAS
(I DIDN'T WATCH SOAPS) I JUST KNEW I WOULD ROB A BANK IF HE ASKED ME TO.
LATER I WATCHED MY UNCLE SHOOT SCENES BUT HE WASN'T IN THEM. I DID ASK IF THERE WAS A "BROCHURE" FOR THE SHOW I COULD HAVE (16 lol ) AND HE GOT ME A PRESS PACK WITH 8X10'S OF THE WHOLE CAST. AND THAT'S HOW I DISCOVERED THE NAME BRAD PITT. *also how I discovered you can JO to a pic even if the guy's clothed.
