Rickycat posted:Charlie Chaplin sans 'stache: You have impeccable taste.  Charlie Chaplin as himself instead of the Little Tramp was a hottie beyond compare. Supposedly he was also a god in the sack, as well as an accomplished cellist.

If we're doing Charlie Chaplin without mustache, how about Yul Brynner with hair? ...some hair, anyway.

Brigitte Helm (of Metropolis fame, 1927) was a stunner.  She's absolutely mesmerizing in Metropolis (at the age of 21). She died in 1996.

John Singer Sargent is one of my favourite artists. I discovered that he is also one of my father's favourite artists after we both found ourselves standing in front of this picture during a visit to the Scottish National. Only time I have heard the old man use the word "erotic". Gentlemen, and sapphists, I give you Lady Agnew of Lochnaw:

Here are some more Silent Movie stars. Musidora  Don Alvarado  Elinor Fair She was married to cowboy actor, William Boyd. While filming a scene for the DeMille film The Volga Boatman, Boyd's character professes his love for Fair's character. However, what audiences were not aware of (due to The Volga Boatman being a silent film) was that Boyd was actually proposing for real, and that Fair accepted in character and on screen.

According to Plato, one of the biggest signs of Socrates' virtue was that he slept naked in the same bed with Alcibiadies and didn't gently caress him. Symposium has Alcibiades rather bitterly resenting the idea that Socrates didn't succumb to his beauty and charm.

A few of my favorites: Farah Diba   I would certainly hope that the Shah was getting with a hottie, and I don't think Empress Farah disappoints. Her daughter in the second picture is good looking too, in my opinion. Dolley Madison  Look at that rack. I think Dolley alone was better than all Jefferson's slave girls combined.

As far as hotties go, Greece had got it going from early on... Ancient snake goddess from around 2000BCE.  Hypatia. Mathematician and philosopher.  Theodora. Started poor, became a prostitute, went on to become Empress of Byzantium and one of the most influential women of her time and got a sainthood.  And now, for some revolutionary guys! Demetrios Ypsilantis  That is quite the mustache. Theodoros Kolokotronis  Last but not least, Aris Velouchiotis, leader of the Greek People's Liberation Army.  (I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Florence yet!)

Worth noting that Procopius' history is pretty clearly slanted towards bashing the hell out of her and there's no real evidence that she was ever a prostitute. (She was an actress, and the actress/prostitute line was a bit blurry at the time) Taking Procopius at face value is a pretty dangerous move.

Nils Asther http://www.goldensilents.com/stars/nilsasther.html I thought Charlie Chaplin was dreamy too. There are several more, but alas I don't know their names.  I saw a silent movie late one night that was filmed in India I think around 1928 and the guy was gorgeous. Wish I could remember the name! It was a good movie, too, with great filming and musical score. From later years - Paul Newman  He was smokin hot from youth to old age. http://paulnewman.com/ mombot has a new favorite as of 05:39 on Apr 27, 2012 |

The line was blurred and the whole prostitute to saint thing is just an interesting narrative. It's pretty catchy though, if you want to entice someone into reading up on some history. You win a Laskarina Bouboulina (naval commander and heroine of the War of Independence)!

As far as art is concerned, whoever modeled for Bernini's David was unbelievably hot.  Reminds me a tiny bit of a young Clint Eastwood, who I'm surprised hasn't been posted yet.  Speaking of great works of sculpture, Caesar Augustus wasn't bad either:  And as far as actual artists are concerned, I think Eugčne Delacroix was pretty dreamy.

I showed my girlfriend the picture of Young Nixon, and her response was "Ooh, that's the cutest one yet." Then I told her who he was and she went "Aaaaaagh! I'm so conflicted!" And I just realized I spent half an hour looking at this thread and My Daguerrotype Boyfriend, sharing hot men with my girlfriend.

Lots of photos incoming. The theme is Forgotten Hotties of the Silver Screen. John Barrymore (Drew Barrymore's grandfather)  Pauline Frederick  Adolphe Menjou (that dapper moustache ) Glenn Langan (you'll never guess who he grew up to be MST3K's Amazing Colossal Man)  Tilly Losch  Gilbert Roland My favorite actress of the 1930s-40s, Frances Dee:    This was Frances with her husband, actor Joel McCrea, pretty hot stuff himself...  They were married for 57 years.  Less forgotten but still hot:   Tyrone Power   Carole Lombard And he's been posted in this thread before but that's no reason not to include more pictures of the handsomest devil --     ~*Errol Flynn*~

I thought the same thing! I'm surprised Gilbert Roland isn't more remembered today -- his film credits stretch from 1923 to 1982, and he was so super handsome. (No one reading this will ever look that good in a fedora.) He was also Mexican, his real name being Luis Antonio Dámaso de Alonso.
