Robert De Niro

"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

Girlhood crush Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman.

@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.

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

The cheekbones on the women are incredible.
Not a filler among them.

Omg I agree with so many of these! Love The Lady Vanishes @Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g ! Charters and Caldecott!

And Roger Livesey in I Know Where I'm Going manages to be the most attractive man ever @catscatscurrantscurrants !!

How about Gerard Phillipe? So beautiful and tragically died of liver cancer in 1959 aged just 36. Two photos of him:-

Marvin Gaye:

Whoops my second Gerard Phillipe photo didn’t load:-

Hedy Lamarr, stunning and very intelligent.

As has been said no fillers in those days

Did you ever hear Wilfred Brambell's real speaking voice @WhatsTheUseOfWorrying ? A real old school posh English actor voice!

Beautiful. Could sing you to bed even if you couldn't see him

I don’t think I ever have heard him not in character. I’ll search.

I remember being taken aback when I first heard June Brown speak in her normal voice. Which was remarkably silly of me really.

Looks like Marshall Mathers 😍

I am silly too then because I saw her open a fête or somesuch, and was similarly discombobulated.

She did an amazing monologue on EastEnders once. I think they gave her the whole episode. Wonderfully charismatic performance.

Wow...

He has aged spectacularly well - obviously not partaking in alcohol or drugs...

Sean Connery was a revolting creep

Farrah Fawcett! She was kind of magical in her prime.

I was thinking yesterday, this thread wouldn't be complete without that pic of young Stalin!

Garrison Ford all the way.

Also, a man whose name has slipped my mind....

Black singer, from around 1960s I think. Think he's still alive, in his 90s.

Not Marvin Gaye or Otis Redding (obviously, as this guy is still alive )...oh this is so frustrating

Anybody?

He was absolutely smokin when he was young 🔥

this one did surprise me, ( just copied it from his Twitter feed). James Dreyfus:

Not left field at all! Most of ELO were my teenage fancies (not crushes or heartthrobs).

So many truly beautiful men and women on this thread but I have a physical repulsion to cigarettes and there are so many smoking pictures! How bad their breath would have been!

(yes I am weird, it goes beyond the normal, smoking is gross, I can’t even look at pictures without a reaction)
