I was in love with Clint Eastwood when he was in Rawhide in the early 60's
He is 90 today.

My mother liked Reginald, Gracesnan!

Timothy Dalton was another favourite. He was in Wuthering Heights. Or maybe Jane Eyre

Gracesnan Sun 31-May-20 18:13:57

Tony Curtis and Reginald Bosanquet (don’t laugh)

Gorgeous Dirk Bogaerd. A Tale of Two Cities was just fab!

Oopsminty Sun 31-May-20 18:11:01

I loved Alain Delon as well!

Also Franco Nero

Someone else popped in my brain but its popped out again

Ryan O’Neal in “Love Story” was mine (1970), and I’ve seen it many times.

Omar sharif, oh my goodness in Lawrence of Arabia.

I also had a crush on rudolf Nureyev

A french actor Alain Delon.

I fancied Warren Beatty after seeing him in Bonnie and Clyde. Was Clyde gay also? (Not Warren).

Also Omar Sharif in Lawrence of Arabia, Mayerling, and of course Doctor Zhivago.

Burt Lancaster - But I am getting on a bit.

DanniRae Sun 31-May-20 17:36:18

David Essex for me - he was such a good looking man and, actually, still is grin

trisher Sun 31-May-20 17:32:24

Clint Eastwood was lovely but it was Paul Newman for me! Saw him in Sweet Bird of Youth and that was it!

BlueBelle Sun 31-May-20 17:29:56

Oh yes and Yul Brynner how could I forget him

Auntieflo Sun 31-May-20 17:29:52

Guy Rolfe.
I had a book of film star pictures, remember those anyone? but then I am an oldie!

Franbern Sun 31-May-20 17:27:23

Amazing how many of these stars were gay. James Dean was forced to hide his sexuality and it was probably one of the things that led to his sad death.

Dirk Bogarde

shysal Sun 31-May-20 17:20:15

Yes, it was Michael Landon who played Little Joe in Bonanza then went on to Little House on the Prairie.

Nortsat Sun 31-May-20 16:58:51

Ilya Kuriyakin in The Man from UNCLE

A bit later - Robert Redford as the Sundance Kid.

David Essex in That’ll Be the Day.

David Cassidy in The Partridge Family.

lemsip Sun 31-May-20 16:54:34

threexnanny Sun 31-May-20 16:51:28

Gregory Peck

BlueBelle Sun 31-May-20 16:48:23

Oh and Sidney Poitier after I saw Please Sir

Grannybags Sun 31-May-20 16:47:18

Peter Wingard - I think he was gay too!

Tabbycat Sun 31-May-20 16:46:55

Robert Redford - saw him at the cinema in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and then in The Sting when I was in the sixth form - sigh...

BlueBelle Sun 31-May-20 16:44:02

I too was in love with Dirk Bogarde it was years and years before I realised he was gay

Kate1949 Sun 31-May-20 16:41:53

Robert Horton when I was very young.
