Pin ups of the past

[Blahdymcblahdyface]

Tony Curtis, goodness me !!!! Who else ?

David McCallum & Robert Vaughn, the men from UNCLE. I had many teenage longings for Illya Kuryakin (McCallum).

Oh @Garlicked , David McCallum was beautiful.

Definitely Jim Morrison @Koptforitagain . The man was dripping in raw sex appeal.

For me, Humphrey Bogart. Though I've just been looking at pics of him, and realised that he looked a lot like my Grandpa, which kind of ruins that for me.

Christopher Lee in The Wicker Man, creepy yet gorgeous.

Early 70s

There used to be a long-running hashtag on X/Twitter #historicalhottie I dunno if it's still going. Lots of retro eye candy, there was.

Rutger Hauer deserves another mention.

I have a mild obsession with Marilyn Monroe. She's so incredibly beautiful. Her life is so fascinating to me.

Loved Gene Kelly, especially in Singing in the rain. Such an incredible performer and a true triple threat- actor, singer and dancer.

The women were all so stunning too. Timeless beauties.

the only modern day actress I think comes close is Kate Beckinsale.

@Iamtheoneinten I first consciously noticed Alan Bates in "Far from the Madding Crowd" at the cinema as a 14year old. Ever since, both he and Gabriel Oakes as played by him have kept a tight possession of a corner of my heart.

And for nostalgia sake, I’ve got to throw in my first ever crush when I was about 4. I know this is the 80’s but sweet baby Jesus could that man wear them short shorts 😍

Such a shame we only had him for a season. He won the golden boot, scoring 40 goals in 57 appearances, and we got pipped to the league by 2 points and were beaten in the FA cup final, both by Liverpool.

Yes

Pete Duel

Difficult to choose between Paul Newman and Robert Redford.

... but my all-time favourite is James Mason.

Gary Cooper oooooof !!

Steve McQueen every day for me

(actor not director)

Especially jumping the fence on that bike !

More recently, there's Rufus Sewell, who is almost more beautiful now than he was when young, which I thought was impossible.

My sister had this poster of him on her wall all during my childhood. My favourite images of him are from The Sting ... well, now I know what I'll be watching tonight!

As a teenager my faves were David Cassidy and Donny Osmond.

As we have gorgeous Marilyn, here is Debbie Harry, one of the most beautiful women from my teenage years.

George Chakiris in 633 Squadron - first film crush
Ryuichi Sakamoto in Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence - had his picture on my bedroom wall. I found his lips absolutely fascinating. Gosh...off to find my copy of MCML now 😍

Sorry can't put on pictures as on my tablet but if someone can oblige....

Ricky Nelson

James Dean

And the lovely Angie Dickinson.
