Sexiest Man Living : Sam Elliott

Rate: 35 Flag
sam-elliott4

Now normally I am not a mustache loving girl.  Tom Selleck never did a damn thing for me, which is probably because he is the poor man's Sam Elliott.

Whether playing a cowboy

 

sam-ellio

 

or a biker with a heart of gold

 

cooke

 

the man exudes sex.  He is the definition of sexy before he even opens his mouth, and when he does that distinct gravel laden voice can make even the hardest hearted woman turn to Jell-o.

To boot, he's not a bad guy.  My mother once tried to kill him with her Buick station wagon as he ran along Malibu's Pacific Coast Highway.  He generously forgives her each and every time they meet in the produce aisle at the local market, although I notice that he does bow and back-up significantly to avoid another collision.  She's not the first woman to try and pin him down I suspect, only the others have been more graceful and less lethal.

As proof of how incredibly hot he was, and I argue he still is, I offer you  an excerpt from the 1976 film Lifeguard.  (For you Hardy Boys fans - yup that's Parker Stevenson!)

FIRST! And Cat is going to be so unhappy about that! YES! (to Sam Elliott)
You must love him to forgive him for Road House!
I'm still voting for Harry Homeless (aka Harry's Ghost). Of course, I'm a lesbian, what do I know?
he has great hair too...
It's okay, Cat. We can ALL sit in front of this post and watch together. But can't we drag Ed Harris over here, too?
Not at all... make yourself comfortable? Want a glass of wine?
I have Ed Harris' phone number... I could call him...
Bring me so Viggo *STAT*. And some wine, too. Surly: How much do you want for Ed's phone number?
Since Viggo is over his Exene phase, yes, he can come.

Kitty - you gave in way too easy with the sons... makes me wonder if there's something wrong with one of them... like maybe athletes foot or chronic halitosis.
You are all so shallow.
Frank - I've never pretended otherwise.
Is there a statute of limitations for stalking a post and waiting for Ed and Viggo to show up? Note to Cat: Viggo is mine. Get your paws off of him. I'll give you Sam. We can share Ed. I don't even want your sons (like that). Deal?
Oh sure, Frank... you've missed breakfast and lunch and dinner time is upon us. Where's my damn food, tiara boy?
True story: I was working with a group of twenty-something women a couple of weeks ago and told them I had Graham Nash's cell phone number. And that he was the nicest-looking 60-year-old man ever.

Silence.

I may as well have asked them if they wanted to go to the Arthur Godfrey show.
You're already in hell, Cat. Look at the company you're keeping....
I am roasting red and yellow peppers even as we type. (This is true.)
Frank-

Bragging to young women that you have a hot old guy's cell phone number may not be the best way to try and impress them.
::thud:: Ask blumenthal; maybe he knows who Graham Nash is.
Sam, u are mine! The others are distracted with wine and sons and fainting spells and some guys named Viggo and Ed. Let's go get our cafe and stroll along a boardwalk now......
Does anyone notice that there are only four of us amusing ourselves over this? And no, Frank, it has nothing to do with Graham Nash or your roasted peppers.
Graham Nash = that guy who sang high harmony for the Hollies.
More important question, Cat: Who's Arthur Godfrey? ;)
I never understood what all the hubub was about.
Party! I'm going to put some Flamin' Groovies on the Victrola!
I don't know, Surly. I am really something next to Ernie Borgnine.
Just let me know when dinner will be ready, Frank. I get mean when I'm hungry.
Awwww Frank... you had to drag The Ghost of Flight 401 into this?
Sammy is really super great. He took our break up in '92 so graciously. He was heart broken, of course, but still sent me a super fab Black Forest Whitaker cake with a note reading, "My Dearest Freakster, should you ever change your mind, I'll be there waiting. You are my muse, my everything. Love, Your Samster." ::sigh:: If only he had agreed to dye his 'stache pink, things might have turned out differently.
Frank: If you bring up one more ancient celebrity, I'm going to lose my appetite. Martin Landau, anyone?
You know, this is really clogging the feed.
I've seen Martin in his underwear.
He always did it for me. Especially that voice and the sense of a decent guy who'd have a bunch of dirty tricks up his sleeve.... No clue why he never made it big. (um, I didn't mean it that way) Maybe because he can't really act? Still, sexy. And still sexy.
Damn. My gnocchi is beautiful. That is not going to work.
Freaky - I'm happy to take your sloppy seconds.
OMG! You just perked up an otherwise gloomy day! I've loved this man since the beginning of time and Ed Harris comes up second...oh thank you thank you!
i stopped by because i figure it's a numbers game--with O'Really, Cat, owl and surly fighting over Sam, Ed and Viggo, there will be one smart, attractive unattached woman...then, i swoop in and a fabulous OS babe shall be mine!
Barking- Billy Dee WITHOUT a Jheri Curl. And Sidney Poitier is a given, and far too dignified for competitions or for the likes of us for that matter.
Speak for yourself about not being dignified enough for Sidney Poitier, Surly. And Laurene Fishburne's no slouch either.
Dinner will arrive when it arrives. I'm still mixing stingers. Be nice. You have not seen a flounce until you've seen me flounce in a tiara and heels.
Kitty - I raise you Djimon Hounsou.
Cat, at this party, i'm rollin' like a hetero; eliminated Harry since he admits to watching Road House, Tom thinks Sam looks like a dork, and Frank name-checked Graham Nash...i'm all about the ladies here (though i will try some gnocchi)...
And don't distract me with The Wire. Because I'll watch that shit all night and we're all having Cheetos for dinner.
(Clears throat). Have we forgotten Denzel....?
mistercomedy: I've got your gnocchi right here
Where's Wallace? Eh, Stringer? Where's Wallace at?
Y'all all crazy. Marty Feldman had those dreamy eyes and endearing hump - not that kind of hump, you dirty mind.
No O'Really we have not. Indeed we have not.
Freaky - if you're gonna go down that avenue of sexy... where do you fall on Billy Barty?
Surly: I was going to bring up Djimon but I couldn't be bothered trying to figure out the spelling of his name. Thank you for doing it for me. Now, where's that gardenia crap you were supposed to bring me from Jamaica?
With the direction this is taking, it won't be long before Marty Allen and Norman Fell get invited.
O'Really - sorry about that... but it got confiscated in customs it wasn't powerful enough to suppress the odor of the ganja I was toting in my carry on.
I call getting to stand next to Norman Fell.
Man, are you trying to torture me? I think so. The Dude Abides.
I will gladly accept the ganja as a second runner up gift.
Frank: I suppose you just want to be referred to as "Mr. Roper" by association.
Roper? I barely knew 'er!

Ha. I got a million of 'em.
I believe I would fall on Billy Barty's cake - pretty sure. Billy's teeth pop out, and that's always sexy.
Mickey Rourke in 9 1/2 Weeks. And Jeremy Irons in just about anything. Including me.
Diner? I barely--

Actually, several hundred thousand of them are pretty similar.
Danny Devito is good for those hard to reach places.
O'Really - except when he played the creepy twin gynecologists.
How long before someone nominates Mickey Rooney? Let's put on a show!
To much mustache. I'm going to wait for Idris to show up. He's my boif. Ooo... and who was the actor who played Omar? "I robs drug dealers." Love OMAR!!
And Paul Williams is always good for a serenade.
Surly: And Klaus Von Bulow.
Christopher Cross is an excellent buzz kill, too.
Since his wreck Gary Busey has that whole "I might just chew your face off" sexy crazy vibe.
Frank: Are you referring to George Wallace???
Wallace Cleaver. Brother of Eldridge.
Freaky - he absolutely will chew your face off. You know he bought me my first six pack of beer when I was 14. I mentioned it to him a few years back and got a sermon full of crazy the likes of which converted me to the Church of Face Chewers.
Kitty - I suggest you ease up on the Maneschewitz.
You peoples is crazy. I'm gonna go change my avatar to something cuter in case Idris shows up.
You are all so shallow.
You are all so shallow.
You are all so shallow.
You are all so shallow.

---but damn, what hunks of masculinity! I'm a heter0 boy, but I certainly appreciate what you girls are talking about.
berrycomposer: And your point is....?
OMG OMG OMG OMG I have been madly in love with them forever.................. I even watched all the cheesy movies he made for TV, remember the one where he killed all this wives or something? He is the single most sexy man in the entire universe. Without question.
PS I saw Lifeguard
And I have watched Road House a zillion trillion times. Just for him and that scene where he pulls his hair back in a pony tail before he beats the shit out of someone. Sigh...........................
'bye, all. Dinner is ready and My Beautiful Wife is hungry. There's pasta in the oven. Just stack the dishes in the sink. I'll get 'em in the morning.
I can't look at Viggo the same after seeing "Eastern Promises". I don't need to see anyone's ding dong flying around like that.

Sam Elliot? Perfection. Everytime I mention it - Paul reminds me that he could have his phone number in a second flat. But won't. 'Cause he's mean.
Julie- that's beyond mean... and I know mean... 'cause I won't give Kitty Ed Harris' number.

Lisa- AMEN!
I meant to say "in love with HIM forever." See what just thinking about Sam does to me? I can't type. I am glad I got to this tonight. If I had read it this mornig I would have been helping to clog the feed and fantasizing about Sam all day....which I admit I used to do when I was younger. I thought: Hmmmm, if I could just meet him, I bet I could convince him I am the woman for him.
Okay Kitty... I leave this party in your capable hands... just don't leave scratch marks on the guests.
He doesn't even come close to the sex appeal of Tim Conway or Don Knotts. What's with you women anyway?
Orally: You say the same thing everytime somebody posts one of these. Make up your mind. Or are you just always open for business?
I was going to bring up Robert Downey Jr. too. And Raoul Julia. But he's dead.
blu: I'm just open to suggestions....
Touchee, Cat. Touchee.
hey hey hey, Lorraine. I am bad, too. honest. really, I am. Not as bad as say, O'Really, but I am aspiring to get there. And badder than you. Yeh.
I'm going to start a school...
No way, Cat. But blu might show up at your door.
I look and act just like Sam Elliot, except for my balding head, spindley legs, hairless chest and pot belly. Oh, and my squeaky voice, pale white skin and lack of talent. Other than that, we are just like twins.
WHOA WHAO WHAO!!! BIOTCH!! I claimed Sam Elliot wayyyy back when Cap'n Piratedead had his who is sexy post.. he will confirm this for me.. he even posted a reallly cute pick for me in his post.. so SORRRRRYYY Surly.. Sam Is taken find a new sexyman to covet im just sayin
I have to admit, even as a man Sam Elliot is one sexy man.

Roadhouse, Mask, and Oh-My-LANTA - Tombstone - - I must say, I haven't said Word One about this contest (I could really only vote for my man), but Sam Elliott is a spectacular specimen of a MAN. Southern charm and a voice able to put that drawl into the "sexy" category.

NICE choice. NICE.
Ooh! Great choice. I want some of that!
Those hairy man-apes ain't got nuttin on me.

Shameless self-promotion.

Orally: Dead guys would be just your speed. I'll bet cremated dead guys really turn you on. Because you're such an ash licker.
Let's take a vote on who's more pathetic -- O'Really or Catbox? I think it's a dead heat.
Barking Lot: I feel so lost. Who's Tom?
blu: that wasn't even close to clever. It was just plain lame. You can do better than that. Oh wait, no you can't. For a minute, I thought I was talking to Frank. Never mind.
Orally: You're open to suggestions? I think you and Catbox should get a room. One in another galaxy would be good.
Dead would be you, blu. As for the heat, I'm sure that Cat and I supply more than enough of our own and certainly way more than you can handle.
Orally & Catbox: I hear they have some nice hotels on the Planet Herpes.
Orally & Catbox. That heat is from menopause ladies. Buy a fan.
Just pulled in from work. Got my merlot. Loving Sam. Did NOT know he married Ms. Ross. Hung out with her step son back in the day. Very short dude. But I'm confused. No Johnny Depp???
OK. I win. Off to someone else's post. Iamsurly has 146 comments now. Let's share the wealth of wit or, in your cae, the poverty
Thanks dude. I show up and you shut down the party. So if you're the host were you buying drinks?
Yes, he's lovely - but Ed has my heart.
You have ED HARRIS' PHONE NUMBER! You are my new goddess. I supine before you.
Jesus. It took me thirteen minutes to scroll to the bottom of this page. Hey O'Really and WSFTC, I just made the neatest discovery. It's called the telephone. It's so cool! You can use it to have a one-on-one conversation. And guess what? THE WHOLE GODDAM BLOGOSPHERE DOESN'T HAVE TO GET INVOLVED!!!
God JB not only are you a misogynist of epic proportions, but your the death of the party.
He is soooo hot. woah, did I just say that? ~slaps self in face~ must be that latent gay gene. Of course if anyone could awaken that thing, it would be Sam.

Rated.
Tiger: Sure, if you like water.
Steve: Orally and WSFTC aren't smart enough to use a phone.
Madcelt: I don't like to be called lovely. Too girlie girlie. Buff and handsome works better for me.
Iamsurly: Stop whining. You'd have 12 comments if it weren't for us. And I resent being called a misogynist. That's so not PC. It's msogynist.
Orally: An emoticon? How intellectual of you.
Andy: In all modesty, I am indeed sooooo hot. You were referring to me right?
Can't leave you guys alone for a minute. . .party, party, party.
Yup Blowhard, you are the secret of my success.


Kathy - I just catered.. the party is all Kitty and Big O's doing. I think there some rumaki left.
I don't know if I'd necessarily say he's *THE* sexiest man, but damn near....Top 5 for sure :-D
Yes. Yes. Yes. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. YES. Perpetual YES.
I forgot to say..."YES!" He can clog my feed anytime.
scupper - only when he's not clogging mine ;)
I agree with you, but I feel dirty for doing so. (Dad would always, *always*, get stopped when out and about by people asking if he was Sam E.)
Why am I always late for these things?

OK......
For your basic heterosexual woman: Mickey Rourke in body heat.

For those that have to have some intellectual pretension with their fantasy love interests, Wallace Shawn in My Dinner With Andre.

Compared to the natural manliness of Ed Harris, Sam is lovely.
Sam Elliott---*sigh*

That's all I have to say about him. One look and I turn into melted butter.

Thank god I'm gay. I hear your songs, sistas!!
ok ok.. im gonna give you this one.. for a guy that is old enough to be my grandpa he is sexy!
ok ok.. im gonna give you this one.. for a guy that is old enough to be my grandpa he is sexy!
Hmmm, Cat woman,

"No heterosexual woman is 'basic'.

We are wonderful, intricate, complicated wonders deserving of constant attention, peeled grapes and foot massages."

That IS the Basic Model --- The GL, model, as it were.

The LX model contains all those features plus:

"Requires premium fuel, more frequent and expensive maintenance
(Sometimes mistakenly called, High Maintenance) including the yearly week @ Canyon Ranch, etc"

Fortunately, service facilities for the LX provide loaners, but you better not get caught.

Me, I only consider "Pre Owned"
Anyway, my suggestion, Mickey Rourke in Body Heat -- that guy has this gracefulness and confidence, but above all, this ATTITUDE.

So much potential, but he simply can't abide any authority.

The kind of raw, unfinished guy that women, to there never ending regret, feel like THEY are the one to civilize. Unless they bail early, they regret it badly.

The kind of guy for women that young lesbian women are for men -- who just KNOW what it would take to turn them and get them on the other team.
Great pick. Obviously it's time for me to grow up.
I always had a thing for Sam Elliot, too! But, like Ed Harris, he's a man devoted to his lifemate (K. Ross), which of course makes him even More attractive.
The quintessential cowboy.
i get the appeal, but for some reason he turns me off.

way back when, i remember feeling a strong attraction, until he opened his mouth. i don't mean he said dumb things, he just killed the allure by the way he talked.

but i do get you. just not for me.
Dave - seriously? That voice doesn't make your knees go weak? You're killing me!
I'm with you Surly, one tremble of those vocals and I'm shameless.
always a favorite of mine, Sam is
Younger? Maybe, maybe not. Perky? Not really how I'd describe myself. Sam Elliott just got me excited.

C'mon, you don't all know who Graham Nash is? *sigh* He's the one on the right in this video. He's not Sam Elliott, but he has SUCH a sweet voice. With a voice and face like that, I could deal with the fact that he's short. ;)
I always thought he was dreamiest... good call iamsurly!
We tied, Surly - gads we have good taste.
Mmm mmm mmmm! I've never heard of Sam Elliott before. Thank you for introducing this gorgeous man into my life!
