@LauderSyme Oh me too, Lynda's my girl crush. Simply stunning then and now. Gal Gadot is lovely but Lynda = Breathtaking!

@thelengthspeoplegoto I can't see Oliver Reed without remembering the mess he became on Terry Wogan's sofa. So sad.

He was great in The Three Musketeers.

@PriscillaPresssley I thought about posting this one of Peter O'Toole earlier

"If he was any prettier, they would have had to call it Florence of Arabia..." Not my quip but I forget who said it. Personally I prefer Omar sharif Wink

Alan Bennett

One of several male pin ups mentioned here who'd have no interest in us! He turned 90 the other day. I hope he's well. I wrote him a fan letter once and got a handwritten reply, which I probably still have somewhere.

Olivia de Havilland and Errol Flynn - two of the best looking actors ever on screen.

Cheekbones and piercing eyes are the theme of this thread it seems. I agree about Classics!

Oh yes to Cary Grant and Elvis. My first love, discovered at the National Portrait Gallery on a school trip. Harley Granville Barker.

Omar Sharif....😍So beautiful

I nearly posted a photo of him in Doctor Zhivago - the mere mention of it made my mum weak at the knees. He was beautiful.

(Then I got distracted by finding a photo of Jeff Bridges and forgot)

Another one of Kirk

Horrible horrible man, he violently raped a very young Natalie Wood, then spat on her after the attack.

Has anyone nominated this for Classics yet? Asking for a friend.
