The Studs Of Old Hollywood

CLARK GABLE

I would die for this man in “It Happened One Night.” Not so sure how that lucky lucky co-star snagged THAT role.

MARLON BRANDO

PAUL NEWMAN

He’s got the kind of face that just makes you want to forgive him for cheating on you in the Joy Division while you were back home delivering your first child. Oh, wait…Did that fantasy go too far?

CARY GRANT

JEFFREY HUNTER

Apparently he was denied the role of the Brady Bunch dad because he was “too good looking,” and then we got stuck with Robert Reed.

Although he wasn't an actor...

Chet Baker deserves mention. He is my musical sweetie pie from the days of yore. Conjure him with the guide below.

Gene Kelly

He had me at Singing in the Rain.

And don't forget Lorenzo Llamas

EROL

Sigh. Even in a velvet cape.

JAMES DEAN

James Dean is way too much of a bad boy for my tastes, but he’s got to get honorable mention here.

JIMMY STEWART

I know he always played the weak bumbling type (and today might equate to a wimpy Hugh Grant), but his classic style bumps him up a few points in my book.

GREGORY PECK

Thank God I didn’t know about Gregory Peck when I was 6. I don’t think I could have slept at night! Erol Flynn would have had a serious run for his money.

ROCK HUDSON

CLINT EASTWOOD

Clint Eastwood pisses me off with his overachieving nature. Can’t he just do water aerobics like everyone else his age? Anyway, he was drop dead, I must admit.

Lorenzo Lamas

He’s dreamy…

Robert Redford

It doesn’t get sexier than a young Robert Redford— definitely the OG Brad Pitt.

And it looks like I’m not the only one who thinks so!
