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!

Yes.

Do not read it, I'm not going to tell you what it is called for your own good

Good old Google! Here you go:

dire sequel

Ooops.

my eyes, my eyes!!!!

WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK?

Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK?

My jaw is hanging open. Have you actually read it katie?

i've read that (in my teenage year - and not since may i add!)

Gable's ok looking but Brando (esp in Guys and Dolls) make me go funny all over!

Yes.

Sometimes, late at night, I can still hear Margaret Mitchell screaming..........

It sounds truly terrible in so many ways. I feel tainted just by reading that wiki page.

Robert Redford in his heyday, and Christopher Plummer. Yum.

Oliver Reed (young or old) sexy beyond belief
Richard Burton- Lucky Liz Taylor
Paul Newman= gorgeous
Don't rate Clark Cable- slimy looking
Sidney Poitier- Now that's what i call handsome

Rock Hudson probably the most handsome man on the planet, but super-gay.

Clark Gable, meh, not fussed either way, but it was not him with the big willy. It was Erroll Flynn.

I have never seen Gone with the wind. How weird is that?

Cary Grant was a dish too.

James Mason was a bit of alright especially in Odd Man Out, all tortured anguish, wounded and doomed...

I thought of Hollywood Babylon too.It is true that the stars of the past had far more interesting lives than todays bland lot-Robert Downey Jnr excepted.

I love Clark Gable,but he did have a bit of a dodgy past,but I can forgive that,I liked Errol Flynn too and once had a very good friend who looked just like him.

Clark Gable - absolutely gorgeous. - Rather old in teacher's Pet, but totally hot in GWTW.
Young Oliver Reed - phwoooarrr
James Mason - gorgeous with an amazing voice. Anyone seen The Seventh Veil where he is a sadistic piano teacher who slams the piano lid down on Ann Todd's hands - but she falls for him anyway! I rather liked him as the dirty old man in Georgy Girl too.
Richard Burton - hot
But my total favourite & the opposite of all this he-man testosterone is the divine Simon Williams in Upstairs Downstairs. His voice, height & moustache = swoon...

My favourite pic. I looooooveeeeee clarke

Oliver Reed
Paul Newman
Sidney Poitier
Tony Curtis

all sexpots I tell you!

I forgot Rock Hudson!!

Oh and there's a book called rhett butlers people too.

That's dire as well.

Gwtw is such an incredible book.

Oh and gable = hot

As does James Mason

Agree re Han solo. I met him divvnt ya naaah? He is very charming in RL. Talked about his knob.

Well I was impressed

James Mason was versatile - could do hero or sinister villain not to mention Humbert Humbert.

And I may be straying off topic but Karl urban as bones in the new star trek is hot hot hot!

Whoever would thought bones would be a sex bomb eh? Whereas new kirk is a looker but not a patch on shatner?

what a topsey turvey world!

Fie for a pox on Humbert grimma!

I give you The Wicked Lady!

James Mason was lovely and had the most wonderful voice ever..all velvety and wispa bar-ish.

Oliver Reed in his youth was beautiful as was Richard Burton- they both possessed a very fine pair of eyes

Oliver reed was incredibly good looking.

Saw Bourne Supremecy last night and agree Karl Urban is very nice, I did like Kirk in the New Star Trek - he was a very cheeky chappie.

It's all in the voice sometimes isn't it ladies?

Now - James Earl Jones, not a looker, but what a voice!
