dangermousieToday's eye-candy entry is Gary Cooper, one of my favorite actors and (to be honest) one of the most gorgeous men I've ever seen, when he was younger.
He is the classic Hollywood star of such favorites of mine as Meet John Doe (which is bitterly funny and touching at the same time), Ball of Fire (where he plays a stuffy linguistics professor falling for a stripper. Yup), Mr. Deeds goes to Town (about a small-town eccentric who inherits a fortune), Pride of the Yankees (about Lou Gehrig. And I don't even like baseball), For Whom the Bell Tolls (best Hemingway adaptation ever), High Noon (one of my Top 10 movies) etc etc etc.
But yeah, talent aside, he was damn hot. And I like his fashion sense.
Yum:
Lounging Hotness:
And more:
A homeless man picked to be a figurehead in Meet John Doe, with Barbara Stanwyck:
