The scientists at Silly Lists of Nothingness have been plugging tirelessly away at yet another ridiculous list for your review. This week, Dr. Ruby Lawrence and Dr. Beth Mann spent nearly two hours in the lab, dissecting photographs of hot men in the name of science.
Now, we're not talking about your garden variety Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise. This list include hotties you may forgotten - overlooked hotties, if you will - as well as historical hotties you didn't know existed in the first place.
Young Chris Walken - interplanetary hottie:
The late, great and undeniably hot Cleavon Little
(one of Dr. Mann's personal faves):
"Excuse me while I whip this out." - Blazing Saddles
Harry Houdini - magical hottie:
Jesse James - young, punk-ass hottie:
Kevin Kline - classic hottie:
Lord Byron - poetic hottie:
Kirk Douglas (Dr. Lawrence made me put him on the list):
Robert Powell as Jesus - this man still looks amazing:
Nathan Hale - still rocking it, even in bronze:
"I only regret that I have but one life to lose
for my country."
John Larroquette - cozy hottie:
Chuck Woolery:
Frank Langella as Dracula (maybe not the best
Dracula, but the hottest):
Larry Hagman, the early days - steely-eyed hottie:
Franz Schubert, pre-pudge:

Malcolm X - with a name like that, you have to be a little hot:
Oscar Wilde:
"It is better to be beautiful than to be good.
But... it is better to be good than to be ugly."
Yul Brenner:
The historically unimportant but undeniably
hot Colonel George Coussmaker. (Who?)
John Cassavetes - old-school New York style hottie:

Louis XIV - pre-syphilis, sporting an early
heavy metal look...literally:
Telly Savalas:
Tyrone Power, later years:
Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill - monetary hottie:![]()
Donald Sutherland:
Malcolm McDowell:

(above one of the sexiest pictures taken of an actor ever, in
Dr. Mann's opinion.)
The Old Spice Guy - for overall hotness and comic timing:
Thanks to Susan Mihalic and FB's Historical Hotties for input!
Dr. Mann and Dr. Lawrence, busy at work. Shhh...they're
trying to concentrate.

Course I married Karen and she's as pasty irish looking as it gets, so *shrug* obviously looks don't matter much :)

sigh... :D so pretty
And add Donald's son next to him.. Kiefer is so much like his dad, especially in his earlier films (I think anyway). Langella, always, how does he manage so-mild and very-intense at once? And Chris Walken - broke the mold with that one - probably a good thing ;).
Rated for enjoyment.
throughmyeyes, that man is just beautiful, really. i hate to say it, but its all in the cheekbones. if you get nice cheekbones, the rest falls easily into place.
Okay, off to NYC. Bringing computer with this time, but hopefully, I'll be caught up in dazzling lights and champagne.
John Cassevetes, oh yes. (And I would have included Chopin, but that's just me.)
Thanks for a very delightful post Beth!!!
And yes I looked up Colonel George Coussmaker. I did have to laugh that his great contribution to history was posting for the painting.
Schubert gets a strong runner-up nod, too!!!
~r!
I, myself, am considered a Hottie in the 55-65 female ex-felon demographic.
And props for the Old Spice Man - I repost his commercials with vigor!
R
frank langela made me shiver as the main character's lover in Diary of a Mad Housewife, a true rat bastard i'd throw my best friend under the bus for. ~sigh~
Very fun list.
Fun piece, Doc.
Louis XIV in heavy metal! Priceless line.
Eye candy Friday.
I could say a lot of stuff, but you said it all.
Cleavon Little was the stylingist cowboy ever seen in the Wild Wild West.
Yul Brynner was HOT in the Ten Commandments. I know Ramses was supposed to be the bad guy, but he had it all over Moses. I'd hit it. And he was smokin as the gunslinger in Westworld. He started my life long love of bald man.
That gladiator facing Kirk Douglas should be on this hot list, DAMN.
Malcolm X was a beautiful man, he reminds me of the singer Maxwell, who is also hotttt.
In NYC now! Woo hoo! There are PEOPLE here....lots of 'em!
Great stuff, as always, Beth. Have a great one!

pfft, she's a terrible liar. She even makes me turn the sound back on so we can listen.
I am sort of with you on everyone. I know what you are saying-- but then comes chuck woolery and ... that love connection show... and never thinking, "Chuck is hot." and I'm lost but still with you. If this was rated on a scale of 1-10 I'd rate it a 9 because of chuck woolery. Yul Brynner: Don't know why but just saw him and and wanted to "get busy."
Thanks!!
Malcolm McDowell---never forgot. And you are correct about that Clockwork Orange poster.

(Yep, she indeed WAS quite a fox.)
Let me repeat that.
John Larroquette?
Kevin Kline? Yup yup! I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Donald Sutherland, too. Although I don't particularly fancy Kiefer Sutherland.
Tyrone Power? Yup, I'd at least invite him in for cocktails.
But too much to add Mr. Telly Savalas!
Monsieur, too funny. And I know. Time certainly changes things. But one thing we tried to do with this list is include men at various stages of their life and still looking beautiful.
THAT PHOTO JUST OPENED MY EYES WIDER THAN A...WELL...SUFFICE IT TO SAY, I AM ECSTATIC OVER THE PHOTO YOU FOUND!!! THAT IS SOME MEMORY ENHANCING LOOK BACK AT A MAN I'VE NEVER GOTTEN OUT OF MY MIND!!!
Saddly, Telly is deceased now, for some time. Rest his beautiful soul.
Beth, I could kiss you for this! (no tongue!) ;)
When I first saw that Hamilton money...I was SO struck by how gorgeous he was.
I agree with this list..SO much. Cleavon! Wilde! Walken! Kline! TYRONE....egads..I thought I was the only one..
