To not understand why Clark Gable was considered handsome? <trivial thread>

[Salmotrutta]

I mean, he wasnt really was he? Somewhat rubbery looking if you ask me

I'm sure I read somewhere he had terribly bad breath too ...

I shold explain I've been dipping in and out of Teacher's Pet on TV (Doris Day and Clark Gable)

Give me Yul Brynner/Steve McQueen/James Stewart etc. anyday!

I like voices best, so James Mason has always done it for me. The female equivalent is I think Joan Greenwood.

I did like Yul Brynner quite a lot as a teen

Ooh, ooh, I've got another! ... Stewart Granger. Quite yummy! Although I do like David Niven. And Errol Flynn. Errors house was called Cyrrhosis by the Sea!

Fellatio . i forgot about Howard Keel, he deffo was ALL man, even when he was older.

Howard Keel has the unfortunate effect of making me want to vomit.
Its as a result of him kissing Miss Ellie on Dallas. To my 13 yr old eyes, it was just 2 old people doing icky stuff.

Paul Newman had such pretty eyes.
Richard Burton's voice gets me every time. I have a CD am old gimmer of him doing Under Milk Wood. I get completely lost in it.

Gina Lolobrigida (sp?) was sex on legs.

Not old school Hollywood, but on the voice front (and face for that matter!) you can't beat Alan Rickman.

Paul Newman is lovely, but a tad too pretty for me. Steve McQueen looks tons filthier.

Jimmy Stewart was divine! You have just reminded me I must watch It's a Wonderful Life again soon.

When I was younger and I watched Some Like It Hot I really fancied Tiny Curtis, but when I watched it again a couple if years ago I have to say it would be Jack Lemon. He had that certain something

Tony not tiny FfS!

ooo Alan rickmans voice he was also in a film years with juliet stevenson truley madly deeply , a brittish and more polite version of ghost , Its a beautiful film and Alan rickman made me melt into a heap sigh

Christopher Plummer as Captain Von Trapp is sexy. Those eyes that paint Julie Andrews face when he looks at her and you just know he was looking forward to corrupting a nun.

I was always quite taken with Trampas (Doug Mcclure) on The Virginian.

Was it an Irish thing? Most people I know have never seen the Virginian or Bonanza. (have many brothers so this possibly skews my experiences)

Oh I remember The Virginian AND Bonanza, Melty. AND I also have Under Milk Wood by Burton..cept on LP! Yes it's that old!

What about Omar Sharrif?? Those dreamy dark eyes...

Oooh we used to watch Bonanza and the Virginian too!! What was the Virginian's actual name??

I liked Blue in the High Chaparral too.

And as a kid I had a crush on the boy who played Jai (sp) in the Tarzan TV series:

Apparently he's dead now.

Oh yes - Omar Sharif. Full of Eastern promise!

I dont think The Virginian had a name. Or at least we didn't know what it was. All added to the charm. I fancied him for a bit, but went off him when he took his hat off. [shallow]

Oh yes, hats bestow a certain air don't they? [also shallow]

Oh Fellation Nelson - Howard Keel. He could have blessed my beautiful hide!

Love him in Calamity Jane. Don't know why her and Katie Brown where chasing after the officer when there was a man like him around?

Agree with Christopher Plummer as Captain Von Trapp, just the whole package there though could never buy that he fell for Maria.

Had such a crush on Gene Kelly when I was younger. Terence Stamp was crazy beautiful when young.

I quite fancied Marina from Stingray when I was a very small boy.

Ooh yes, captain Von Trapp. Yummy

deepancrisp That's ok. I was in love with Captain Scarlet

yeah, we've had that bit leQ

i have a bit of a girl crush on Gina Lolabrigida - she was (expired?) stunning

Captain Scarlet De dah de dah dah

This is the voice of the Mysterons - or something.
