  5. Gary Cooper, Oh so handsome but where are my personal favorites Robert Redford, Steve McQueen and Clint Eastwood maybe for 'Devastating Beauty IV'
    You have a lovely week.

  6. These are ALL the MEN that made the list surprisingly so-perhaps it is the "beauty" word that seems to throw us off- though I can't know why. Gary Cooper was my pick-classic good looks, soft voice when warranted and just a touch of vulnerability-devastating.

  8. I have to say, I thought for a minute GREGORY PECK was HUGH JACKMAN...no wonder I love Hugh! He is DELICIOUS to look at and especially to listen to.

    ~Beautiful to gaze upon~

  9. Paul Newman was as gorgeous in person as he was in the movies. I had the pleasure of seeing him around town in Westport, Conn. which is where he lived and my home for awhile. He once bought my daughter a drink after she lost her job! they were both sitting with friends at a local bar.

  10. Anon 10:39 No! not at all, though yes all pretty devastatingly Beautiful.

    Lindaraxa-Love these stories.

    RJ- GP does do HJ nicely. All the images look fairly modern- even a little Bruce Weber in the case of Brando.

  11. i just realized that my previous comment was lust and not beauty. instant, primal and might i say an awwwwwfully strong reaction. *ahem*. (it has been my downfall making choices in the past.) beauty takes a while to see -- it is about the whole person, discovering as the layers are peeled away.

  12. It's not that I don't use the word
    beauty for
    men -but not for many. I think Soodie's 1st reaction is right -that's the devastating part! Who defines this thing anyway!I vote for G Peck and Paul Newman. To add some Frenchies to the list how about Mathieu Kassovitz ,Gérard Philippe?

  13. Newman is gorgeous and from stories a wonderfully kind person as well. G

  14. Soodie- doesn't lust play into it-especially the movie stars of the period. So photographed and idolized. Those today- Not so much, we just look at them and say, there but for the grace of god go i!

  15. Soodie- great way of putting it- "sweaty, meaty... sweet sweaty testosterone." RIGHT ON.
    Joe Dallasandro was also a HOT pick. Good call, didn't even think of him.
