This is my 3rd “Thursday Thirteen”. This week, my “Thursday Thirteen” are the men I consider to be the Most Handsome Classic Movie Stars. It was hard to narrow this list down. There was so many of them. These are men that true masculine glory exudes from. In no particular order, my 13 Most Handsome Classic Movie actors are: 1. John Wayne – manly man
2. Cary Grant – suave
3. Errol Flynn- classic
4. Clark Gable – debonaire
5. Peter Lawford – the smile and charm
6. Burt Lancaster – rugged
7. Frank Sinatra – blue eyes
8. Montgomery Clift – dark
9. Charleton Heston – strong
10. Gene Kelly – dance into the heart
11. Paul Newman –
12. Kirk Douglas – the dimple
13. Ronald Reagan – just cute (this is my daughter’s choice!!)
Honorable Mentions: Jimmy Stewart, Robert Mitchum, Gregory Peck, Tony Curtis, Robert Redford, William Holden, Van Johnson and Steve McQueen.

Oh, my goodness — I’m swooning! I love, love, love old movies. Love Cary Grant . . . but not as much as a “young” Sean Connery. He was soooo HAWT in “Marnie.”

Robert Redford and Paul Newman for me!
It’s hard to remember that Charlton Heston once looked that good, considering how he ended up…

Great list, but I have to agree with Laura… Where’s my hubby?

I’m a Cary Grant fan myself. The other leading man that I think is awesome is Spencer Tracy.

Funny to see Ronald Reagan like that. Back in those days, who would have thought he would end up in the White House?

I swoon too, Rachel!! Thank goodness my daughter loves the classics. Men like these should never be forgotten. Sean Connery would be a good choice too!!
Laura and Christina, I just couldn’t add your hubby’s without putting mine at the top of the list!! LOL Sorry!! We’ll just have to be happy with these.

Elaine, I couldn’t leave off Gene Kelly….no way!! I don’t think about Brando young, but he definitely could be on the list. Dean Martin came along later and I never considered Elvis an actor. He’ll always be a singer/performer, no matter how many movies he made!! Olivier and O’Toole were great actors, but I never swooned over them. I could watch them all the time, but they don’t get me HOT!! LOL
Don’t feel bad, I don’t subscribe to anyone’s blog. Now that homeschool is in full swing, it’s all I can do to keep up with my own. I keep getting behind on comments!!

Robin, Charleton was definitely a looker in his younger days. Glad you like the list!!
Debbie, kiddo wanted Spencer Tracy too. I never considered him HOT, but he is a great actor. She got her way with Reagan!! LOL
jyl, it is hard to remember that’s how he started. I have to agree with my daughter though, he was cute in the day!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!!

Sorry Joan, he’s just not one of my faves. I don’t mind watching his movies at all, but he just doesn’t top my list. Maybe another time!!
