Did James Dean have the most attractive male face of all time?

I'm tempted to say so myself...

James Dean is one of those people that just comes across as so sexy, even though he doesn't necessarily look overly handsome in still photos - hard to describe

His face was a rumbled bed that someone just fucked in. And his main device was relaxing his mouth into a pout...it was intentional. The guy knew what he was doing.

But (and DL has this thread about twice a month) Alain Delon and Paul Newman have to be 1 and 2, in either order.

Def gay not bi. Though he may have had sexual experiences with women. A number of gay men have. I have had two. That's not bi. There is a story about a party given for him in Marfa when he was filming Giant. For some reason there were only women. When he realized this he got bored and left.

I have a soft spot in my heart for the young Jeremy Brett. I find him quite beautiful as Freddy in MFL. And a very fine actor. He is so much better than the Freddy in Pascal's film. But very troubled by his homosexuality. Well it was literally criminal when he was growing up. So he married Anna Massey daughter of Raymond and sister of Daniel and that did not go well of course. I highly recommend her autobio. His son is a writer living in I believe CA.

He definitely had something but he died at 24..wven then he looked 34 so Im not sure he would have aged well. Jeffrey Hunter was handsome but in that Star Trek pilot he looks middle aged. Rock Hudson was a fine thing. Brando before the weight was pretty perfect. Paul Newman for the win.

R62 That’s not William Bast, that’s Dennis Stock.

IIn this interview Liz said Jimmy hadn’t made up his mind but he was fascinated by women and flirted with her. She also said he was in love with Pier Angeli.

I think he most likely had a preference for men and would’ve leaned more into that preference had he lived longer and would’ve been open about it but he did have relationships with women too like Barbara Glenn and Geraldine Page.

This sounds kind of odd, and I don't remember the source, or even if I'm imagining it, but I once read that Jane Leeves (Daphne on Frasier) said that she wished that James Dean would have lived to old age. Had that happened, it would have stopped all the young Hollywood poseurs of the time trying to imitate or embody him in the 90s or so. It stuck with me as a particularly piquant observation.

I always found James Dean attractive. But he was not the most attractive face of all time, that's an absurd claim. Also, he died young, so we not got to see him grow older. With the chain smoking, drinking, terrible sleep routine, he would have aged quickly and badly. See Tyrone Power who was the perfect cautionary tale. He died at just age 44 and he looked about age 60.

I always wondered if Lois Smith slept with Kazan to get that role in Eden. She is very pretty and he was known to sleep with his young actresses. Of course Smith grew up to be one of the great actors. Her performance in Trip to Bountiful was one of the most memorable and moving I have seen on stage or anywhere for that matter.
