C'mon let's stick up for the over 50s. Who are your heart-throbs. Let's say over 50. Preferably well over. And alive!

For me:
Helen Mirren
Albert Finney
Charlotte Rampling
Joan Bakewell
Clive James (I hope he's still alive!)
Anthony Hopkins
Felicity Kendal
Harry Belafonte (he doesn't need to sing)
James Dyson (Designer)
Richard Rogers (Architect)

Now that would be the basis for a fun party! Now where's that thread on favourite cocktail recipes?

I live a sheltered life grin But nobody controls what goes on in my head; certainly I don't! gringrin

Glad to see someone way back mentioned Montalbano _ he's my current secret obsession - perhaps we could share him ???? Nobody seems to have mentioned Judi Dench among the women and she still looks so attractive. And there's always Sheila Hancock (how sad that we have lost John Thaw, he would have been an obvious choice) I must have a thing about irascible policemen!

Agree about Johnny Mathis.

And James Martin to cook!

I thought they were supposed to be alive!

Nanadog Sat 10-Nov-12 11:33:09

Yes, I'd like my heartthrobs to actually have a heartbeat! grin

Johnny Mathis is still alive at only 75 - maybe not kicking but still alive!

Nanadog Sat 10-Nov-12 11:43:07

Is that right anno ? I always thought he was my parent's generation. Must be the type of songs he sang.

Ana Sat 10-Nov-12 11:46:12

Yes, I was referring to most of the others on angiebaby's list! grin
