Most Handsome Actors of Old Hollywood

The Top Ten
1 Robert Redford Charles Robert Redford Jr., known professionally as Robert Redford, is an American actor, director, producer, businessman, environmentalist, and philanthropist.
2 James Dean James Byron Dean was an American actor. He is a cultural icon of teenage disillusionment and social estrangement, as expressed in the title of his most celebrated film, Rebel Without a Cause, in which he starred as troubled teenager Jim Stark.
3 Steve McQueen Terence Steven "Steve" McQueen was an American actor. Called "The King of Cool", his "anti-hero" persona, developed at the height of the counterculture of the 1960s, made him a top box-office draw of the 1960s and 1970s.
4 Sean Connery Sir Thomas Sean Connery (August 25, 1930 - October 31, 2020) was a Scottish actor and producer. He won an Academy Award, two BAFTA Awards, and three Golden Globes. He was best known for playing James Bond in the James Bond series, Jim Malone in The Untouchables, and Dr. Henry Jones Sr. in Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade.
5 Marlon Brando Marlon Brando, Jr. was an American actor, film director, and activist. He is credited with bringing a gripping realism to film acting, and is often cited as one of the greatest and most influential actors of all time. He died on July 1, 2004 at the age of 80.

He is definitely the most charismatic man of all time. If you don't believe me then you should see him in a streetcar named desire and also watch his screentest video for rebel without a cause. He looked really handsome in 40s and 50s

In the 50's, he was perfection.

6 Cary Grant Cary Grant, born Archibald Alexander Leach (January 18, 1904 – November 29, 1986) was a British-American actor, known as one of classic Hollywood's definitive leading men. He began a career in Hollywood in the early 1930s, and became known for his transatlantic accent, debonair demeanor, and light-hearted approach to acting and sense of comic timing. He became an American citizen in 1942... read more
7 Errol Flynn Errol Leslie Flynn was an Australian-born actor who achieved fame in Hollywood after 1935. He was known for his romantic swashbuckler roles in Hollywood films, as well as frequent partnerships with Olivia de Havilland.
8 Dean Martin Dean Martin was an American singer, actor, comedian, and producer. One of the most popular and enduring American entertainers of the mid-20th century, Martin was nicknamed the "King of Cool" for his seemingly effortless charisma and self-assurance.

Who hacked this list? Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra shouldn't be added, it's a bit far-fetched. Definitely, they weren't the most handsome actors of old Hollywood! Certainly, they were extremely talented but not the most handsome... Frank Sinatra, more handsome than Marcello, Dean Martin more handsome than Marlon, Peter Lawford more handsome than Rock Hudson? No way. I think a fan of the Rat Pack hacked this list!

9 Clark Gable William Clark Gable (February 1, 1901 – November 16, 1960) was an American film actor, often referred to as "The King of Hollywood" or just simply as "The King". Gable is considered one of the most consistent box-office performers in history, appearing on Quigley Publishing's annual Top Ten Money Making Stars Poll 16 times. He was named the 7th greatest male star of classic American cinema by the... read more

The Contenders
11 Jeffrey Hunter Jeffrey Hunter was an American film and television actor and producer known for his roles in classic films such as The Searchers, and King of Kings.
12 Charlton Heston Charlton Heston was an American actor and political activist. As a Hollywood star, he appeared in almost 100 films over the course of 60 years.
13 Robert Mitchum

15 Marcello Mastroianni
16 Montgomery Clift Edward Montgomery "Monty" Clift (October 17, 1920 – July 23, 1966) was an American film and stage actor. Along with Marlon Brando and James Dean, Clift was one of the original method actors in Hollywood and was one of the first actors to be invited to study in the Actors Studio with Lee Strasberg and Elia Kazan.

17 Rock Hudson Rock Hudson was an American actor, generally known for his turns as a leading man during the 1950s and 1960s.

oh I would have done rock hudson there is no way the man was gay

18 Paul Newman Paul Leonard Newman was an American actor, film director, entrepreneur, professional racing driver and team owner, environmentalist, activist and philanthropist.

Paul Newman is far more handsome than any of the other actors on this list.

Absolutely GORGEOUS! This picture doesn't do him justice.

19 Burt Lancaster

He had the most beautiful body I have ever seen behind the silver screen. Not even today there are so beautiful male bodies like Burt Lancaster's. They all seem so artificial. Lancaster's face was also very appealing and he was a great actor.

20 Alain Delon Alain Fabien Maurice Marcel Delon is a French actor and businessman, with French-Swiss dual citizenship since 1999. Delon became one of Europe's most prominent actors and screen sex symbols in the 1960s.
21 Rudolph Valentino

Dubbed the "King of Rock and Roll", he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race... read more
23 Richard Burton Richard Burton was a Welsh actor. Noted for his mellifluous baritone voice, Burton established himself as a formidable Shakespearean actor in the 1950s, and he gave a memorable performance of Hamlet in 1964. He was called "the natural successor to Olivier" by critic and dramaturge Kenneth Tynan.



One of the most loveliest voices. I would combine Richard Burton with Paul Newman, who has the most kindest, most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen.
Also adore Marlon Brando as Sky Masterson in Guys And Dolls.

24 Robert Taylor

Without the mustache, Robert Taylor was a dream! Errol Flynn was also much better looking without the mustache.

25 Gregory Peck Eldred Gregory Peck (April 5, 1916 – June 12, 2003) was an American actor who was one of the most popular film stars from the 1940s to the 1960s. Peck continued to play major film roles until the late 1980s. His performance as Atticus Finch in the 1962 film To Kill a Mockingbird earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor... read more

I would have gone with Gregory any place at any time!
