Vintage Hunks: Ten Classic Hot Men of Hollywood. Are you a fan of classic Hollywood? You know, of the time when color photography was not yet the norm in Tinseltown and the likes of James Dean, James Caan, and Marlon Brando were the leading men of the day? Well, you might like our list of the Ten Classic Hot Men of Hollywood.
Let us begin our list with a young Christopher Walken. You might remember him for his villain roles but the actor, who’s still swingin’ it at 77 years old, was oh-so-innocent looking back in the day. He’s got that face that mamas would welcome, no?
Second in our list of vintage Hollywood hottie is Stuart Whitman who sadly passed away just a few weeks ago last 16 March. He was 92 years old. Stuart was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for the 1961 film The Mark.
Known for his known for his blond, clean-cut good looks Tab Hunter was the heartthrob of Hollywood in the 1950s to the 1960s and he continued to work in the biz until 2015 when he appeared in the documentary Tab Hunter Confidential which was based on an autobiography he published. Among other revelations, Tab revealed that he is actually a gay dude in both his book and the subsequent documentary.
Speaking of actors in the closet, one can argue that the most popular of them all is no other than Rock Hudson who was one of the biggest stars of his day. He was a pretty good actor too and was nominated for an Oscar for his role in the 1956 western Giant alongside James Dean.
Gardner McKay is best known for his role on the ABC TV show, Adventures in Paradise, where he plays the role of a Korean War veteran.
Who says American actors do not like to wear Speedos? Certainly not John Bromfield who’s rocking a pair in the photo below. A veteran of the Second World War, John played football and was a boxing champ before he joined the acting biz. By the way, the cute guy behind him in the pic is no other than Tab Hunter.
We’d call Steve McQueen our imaginary boyfriend among these vintage hunks but he, sadly, passed away in 1980 when he was only 50 years old. Steve was nominated for an Academy Best Actor Award for his role in the 1966 movie The Sand Pebbles. According to wikipedia, he was the highest paid star in the world in 1974 and, because of his popularity, was sought out by studios despite the high price he commands.
Denny Miller starred as Tarzan in the 1959 adventure movie Tarzan, the Ape Man. For those who are wondering, the girl beside him is Joanna Barnes who played Jane to Denny’s Tarzan.
We said this is going to be a black and white photos of vintage hunks but we can’t resist adding this photo of a very hairy James Caan rising from a swimming pool. James was nominated for an Academy Award for his role as Sonny Corleone in The Godfather.
Last but not the least in our list of Ten Classic Hot Men of Hollywood is Guy Madison who is best known for his role as James Hickok in the TV series The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok.
