Old, dead actors you have a crush on

Ronald Colman seemed like a hot daddy, and he's not normally my type at all

I love Ronald Colman

Guy Madison. Oh, my God. He was beautiful.

Guy Madison was hot as hell. Too bad he couldn't act.

George O'Brien.

R4 Guy was one of Henry Willson's boys.

Acting was not a priority under Willson's employ.

John Garfield

Sterling Hayden.

James Garner

Rod Taylor

Paul Newman

What I would give to get a time machine and have a threesome with both Montgomery Clift and Paul Newman. I would suck both cocks at the same time.

Omar Sharif

Rudolph Valentino

Stephen Boyd

Dewey Martin

Helmut Dantine, 1940s.

Jeffrey Hunter and Errol Flynn. Tyrone Power too.

James Dean

Ryan O'Neill gave me plenty of wood watching him in Peyton Place.

Rock Hudson

Pete Duel - I was a kid

R17 It wasn't until What's Up, Doc that I notice Ryan O'Neal.

I also think that's when my fetish for hot nerds started, too.

R19 Pete never got old, but he was hot.

Gregory Peck, William Holden, Monty Clift, Olivia Newton John. Luke Perry,

Francis X. Bushman

Conrad Veidt

Rock Hudson

Arnold Stang

George Sanders

Clint

Buster Crabbe

Buster Crabbe was gorgeous

Gregory Peck. He had the looks and the voice.

Joel McCrea

Cliff Robertson

Joel McCrea and Dana Andrews, specifically their roles in “The More the Merrier” and “The Best Years of Our Lives”. Ruined me for real life men.

C D E listers like Christopher George who did a nude spread in Playgirl.

John Payne, Robert Blake.

Belmondo, Delon, all the hot street trade in Pasolini movies. Robert Mitchum, Burt Lancaster, Paul Newman, Paul Robeson, Cesar Romero, Paul Muni, Humphrey Bogart....

Bob Hoskins

Clift '

Newman '

Alain Delon '

James Edwards

Francis Lederer

Gerard Philipe

Farley Granger

Jan-Michael Vincent

Max Julien

Massimo Girotti

Randolph Scott!

I would have ruined my reputation for James Gardner or Martin Milner.

Roger Livesey, that voice…

John Payne

Charles Farrell

Lex Barker

George Montgomery

Ricardo Montalban, Fernando Lamas and Peter Lawford in the ir MGM days (pre-1950)

Harold Lloyd.

Guy Williams as "Zorro."

Tyrone Power also as "Zorro," with his twice-co-star, the luminous Linda Darnell.

Robert Stack as "Elliot Ness" in "The Untouchables."

Robert Conrad as "Jim West" in "The Wild, Wild West." DUH!

Ricky Nelson!

R23, are you a Beverly Hillbillies fan?

Francis X. Bushman is referenced regularly in the early seasons.

Robert Mitchum.

Max Baer, Jr. especially around the cee-ment pond.

Joanne Woodward had more than her share of good fortune.

Gene Kelly

R48 Jethro is still alive.

Chester Morris, a sexy mofo

George O’ Brien was hot as FUCK.

William “Billy” Haines, a sexy dream

Tim Holt, a sexy dream

John Barrymore, a sexy drunkard

Burt Lancaster, a glorious hunk

Tom Drake.

Fernando Llamas

Ricardo Montalban

Yul Brynner

Hugh Beaumont

William Holden

RV.

Pre-fat Brando

George Grizzard

Joel McCrea

Carl Betz

Grant Williams

Kent Smith

Hans Conreid (in the title role of The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T—I was a kid!)

John Gavin

Anthony Quinn

Ryan Phillippe at 18, so long as he had laryngitis at the time.

When did Ryan die, r62? I hadn't heard.

Horst Buchholz and Alan Bates.

Charles Starrett

Diane Keaton. Very suddenly.

Hugh O'Brian

Lizabeth Scott.

No actress was remotely like her. And that incredible voice!

R34, My first glimpse of Dana Andrews was in "Ball of Fire," and even though Gary Cooper was the prettier of the two, I was crushing hard on bad boy Dana. Then I saw him in "The Best Years of Our Lives," and his blue-collar masculinity was off the charts. I was forever smitten.

My early crush on Monty Clift dissipated after going through his entire film catalogue. He frequently played characters who were fucked up in the head and needed mothering. A grown man-child is never attractive no matter how good-looking he is.

I would have volunteered to be the filling in a Dana Andrews/Steve Forrest sandwich.

Hugh O'Brian x 1,000,000!

No better. Except for maybe Clint Walker and Vince Edwards (has he been mentioned/).

Hugh O’Brian and Rod Taylor frequently merge in my brain.

Primal masculine sexiness x2.

Even Poseidon’s Underworld used to get them confused.

Brian Kelly

They are all gorgeous those movie stars of yore, but after awhile they are all starting to look alike to me. Handsome faces and generally the same body.

I want them all, anyway. In me quite deeply.

Sterling Hayden

Another vote for Rod Taylor. Woof.

Stuart Whitman

Hugh O'Brian had big balls.

Here's Huge

I mean Hugh

David Manners

Although briefly married to a woman, he spent 30 years with his boyfriend.

Joel McCrae, especially in Palm Beach Story

Rod Taylor

Funny how the biggest male sex symbols of yesteryear, Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, Tyrone Power, William Holden and Errol Flynn are never mentioned in these threads. Was it because they all had such long careers and we tend to think of them in their dotage?

R84, Error Flynn and Tyrone Power were mentioned upthread.

Gregory Peck and James Dean.

Cary Grant!

John Garfield, Dane Clark, Farley Granger.
