We recently met the most beautiful women twentieth century, but without men the picture of the beauties of the past century will remain incomplete. Male beauty, like any other beauty, is a controversial thing, but I think there will be no complaints about today’s list - all the heroes were extremely popular in their time. The only criticisms that I can make to myself are the number of “most beautiful” ones - there are only eight of them, and the fact that they all come from Western cinema. I’ll also get closer to the domestic one, over time.



Rudolph Valentino
Born on May 6, 1895 in the town of Castellanata (province of Barry), in Italy, in the family of a former circus performer, who after his marriage left a wandering life and became a veterinarian.
He graduated from the Agricultural Academy in Genoa, then went to Paris, where he studied dancing. Returning to Italy, Valentino did not want to look for work for a long time and lived on the inheritance left after the death of his father and on the money that his mother and older brother earned.
In 1913, he emigrated to the United States and worked in New York as a street vendor, gardener, dishwasher, and gigolo dancer. As a tango performer, he was accepted into a touring theater troupe.
In 1917 he moved to Hollywood, where he made his film debut - cameo role dancer in the film Alimony. He acted as an extra in films by Griffith and the Universal company, then he began to be assigned small roles, for example, in “Little Little Devil” with Mae Murray.
In 1919 he married film star Jean Acker. The marriage did not work out and they officially divorced in 1922. However, Valentino's "star" marriage and his ability to dance attracted attention to him and the actor received the main role in Rex Ingram's film "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" (1921).
The charm of Rudolfo Valentino provided The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse with unprecedented commercial success. The film cost six hundred and forty thousand dollars, and brought in four and a half million - a record figure for silent films. But most importantly, the film made Valentino a superstar. The soon-released “The Sheik” by George Melford (1921) brought Valentino new success; he would be called the “Latin lover”, “fatal seducer” and “true sheikh”.
In “The Lady of the Camellias” (1921), Valentino’s partner was the famous actress Alla Nazimova. During filming, Rodolfo became close to set designer Natasha Rambova, the daughter of one of the New York millionaires. Their wedding took place in Mexico, but this marriage also turned out to be fragile. Natasha left him, and Rudolf immediately announced his engagement to actress Pola Negri.
They did not have time to get married. In the summer of 1926, the actor suffered an attack of acute appendicitis, and after surgery he developed peritonitis.
Valentino passed away on August 23, 1926. “The Sheikh is dead! New York groupies are rioting! - newspapers came out with such headlines then, reporting the death of the superstar.
Every year crowds of fans gathered at Valentino’s grave; dozens of women committed suicide at his grave.
And only in 1956 the newspapers wrote: “For the first time in the last 30 years, not a single woman came to the grave of Rudolph Valentino.”

Clark Gable

(02/01/1901 (Cadiz, Ohio) - 11/16/1960 (Los Angeles, California)

Born in the provincial wilderness, he began an independent life early, performed on the stage of traveling theaters, and tried to make a career in Hollywood with the help of actress D. Dillon.

Only the support of the widow of the oil magnate M. Langham gave Gable the opportunity to try his hand at Broadway, and then play in the play “The Last Mile,” where his embittered and doomed hero, a prisoner in Sing Sing prison, literally captivated the audience.

Since 1931 in Hollywood. After his debut in the western The Painted Desert, he played cowboys and gangsters. In films with the participation of stars N. Shearer, G. Garbo, J. Harlow and J. Crawford found a new role - a real American, whose masculinity and sexual drive attract women to the same extent as the breadth and nobility hidden behind the external cynicism in the films Susan Lenox: Her Fall And Rise (1931), Sporting Blood (1931), Strange Interlude (1932), Hold Your Man (1933).

In 1934 awarded with a prize Oscar for his role as a poor reporter who re-educates the obstinate daughter of a millionaire in F. Capra's film It Happened One Night. The No. 1 man for many American women, Gable was also a man's favorite, embodying the type of simple guy who started from scratch and worked his way up single-handedly with a powerful fist, acumen and irony in Manhattan Melodrama. 1934), “San Francisco” (San Francisco, 1936), “Saratoga” (Saratoga, 1937), “Test Pilot” (1938).

The apogee of Gable's career was his poll-predicted performance as Rhett Butler in Gone With The Wind (1939), where he created the most flamboyant and polished version of his screen type. Tragic death In 1942, in a plane crash, Gable's wife, actress Carole Lombard, dealt the actor an irreparable blow - he could not find himself either in life or on the screen.

Americans were looking for new idols, and Gable's attempts to repeat himself in Westerns and adventure films brought in less and less money. However latest paintings with his participation they were again successful, and with the actor’s farewell to the public and best job late period creativity became the image of an old cowboy in the film by J. Huston “The Misfits”. This film was released in 1961, after Gable's death. The feature film “Gable and Lombard” (1976) is dedicated to his life and creative destiny.

His father, a respected merchant in their town building materials, supported his family in abundance and believed that this was enough; and his mother, Dodi, who once dreamed of a theatrical career, spent her days in melancholy. Marlon never finished school and soon moved to his older sister Frances in New York. He worked as a truck driver, elevator operator, and lemonade seller.

He studied at a military academy in Minnesota, and then in New York in a theater class at the School of Social Research and Actors Studio. In 1944 he made his Broadway debut in the play I Love Mother.

A turning point in Marlon Brando’s work was the production of T. Williams’ play “A Streetcar Named Desire” by E. Kazan at the theater, in which the actor brilliantly played Stanley Kowalski. Enthusiastic critics predicted a great future for this handsome, sensual young guy with amazing intuition and considered him the hope of American art. However, a successful performance in this performance deprived the theater of one of its the best masters. Marlon Brando went to Hollywood and never returned. (He appeared on stage only one more time, in 1953 in B. Shaw’s play “Arms and the Man.”)

In 1950, Brando accepted an offer from producer Stanley Kramer to star in Fred Zinnemann's film The Men, where he portrayed a paralyzed World War II invalid who could only move in a wheelchair. The actor played the entire role while sitting, and besides, here he had to give up precisely those qualities that made him so attractive to the audience: speed of reaction, expressiveness of movements and gestures, sexual magnetism. However, he managed to step over the barrier separating stage and screen, and in a spare performing manner convey the whole range of changing moods of his hero.

True success came to Brando only after Elia Kazan brought A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) to the screen. Stanley Kowalski literally exudes primordial strength - masculine, sensual, animal. A spontaneous improvisational style, overt sexuality, unique, rough humor, and rare glimpses of humanity against a generally gloomy background helped create a very unusual image. The actor showed here with full dedication not only his natural talent and attractive personality, but also his amazing unity with the character he portrays. Brando got into the role so much that he gave interviews “in character.” This is where the belief came from that he played himself in “Tram” - a rude, cruel boor, not without sadistic inclinations. In fact, Marlon, especially at first, was a sensitive, gentle, somewhat shy guy who loved jokes and pranks.
A year later, the same Kazan, with whom he shared his first success, invited Brando to play the title role in the film “Viva Zapata!” based on a screenplay by John Steinbeck. The actor managed to show this peasant leader of the Mexican revolution as woven from contradictions. Convinced and ignorant, strong and doubtful, modest and ironically impudent. After these two such significant acting achievements, Brando received many very flattering offers. But Marlon chose the role that made him an idol of the young, in L. Benedek’s film “The Savage” (1953). It was here that he became the “voice of a generation” of youth protest, symbolizing his appearance(black leather jacket, cap pulled down over his eyes, jeans tucked into boots, dark glasses), and occupation (mad riding of motorcycles by groups of youngsters huddled together). In the image of Johnny, even more than in Stanley Kowalski, the actor was able to show that this guy is not at all as terrible as he may seem at first glance.

Brando brilliantly completed the evolution of the image of the “youth hero” in Elia Kazan’s film “On the Port” (1954), which concluded the first stage of his work. He showed here the gradual evolution of his hero - a former boxer, in whom not only humanity awakens, but also a protest against the criminal union bosses who completely enslaved the dockers. Creation of two different images, subtle nuances of feelings, lyricism in love scenes brought the actor a well-deserved award - an Oscar. He became its youngest laureate.

In most of the roles played from 1954 to 1964, Brandov varied his previous successes. He starred in historical and modern films, impersonating not only Americans, but also Germans and Japanese. Genres ranged from romance to comedy and from western to musical. Basically, the motif of “rebirth through love” was repeated, but even in this unassuming mass production, the actor managed to turn every time with some original, unexpected side.
Brando's most significant work in the 1960s was Sheriff Calder in Arthur Penn's The Chase (1965).

Brando experienced his second real rise in the early 70s, starring in Francis Coppola's film " Godfather"' (1972), where he overturned all the usual ideas about the images of gangsters on the screen. His hero - the gangster boss Vito Corleone - has come a long way here from a handsome gray-haired gentleman with a quiet voice and a cat on his lap to a hunched, unkempt, unhaired old man. The actor did not come to receive the Oscar that he was awarded for this role - as a sign of protest against discrimination against American Indians. This was only an echo of the vast struggle for civil rights, which he led during that period.

Brando's fame, now as a leading actor of the 70s, was further strengthened after the success of Last Tango in Paris (1972) by Bernardo Bertolucci - a multifaceted Freudian drama about the sensual connection of an elderly widower with a young girl, where the actor very subtly managed to convey the spiritual evolution of his hero.

Participation in these two films not only brought Brando back to the top of popularity, but also made him a rich man. Now he could afford to act rarely and selectively.

In 1980, Brando announced his retirement from films, but periodically continued to appear in supporting roles.

In addition to his undeniable merits in cinema, Brando was famous for his commitment to humanism. He spoke out against the oppression of the indigenous Indian population and accused the world of indifference to the Holocaust.

Officially, he was married twice: to film extras Anna Kashfi, whom he soon divorced (he left behind a son), and actress Movita (Maria Luisa Castenada) - two children, but this marriage also turned out to be fragile.
Since 1963, he has been involved with a Tahitian woman, Tarita, and has been missing for years on an island purchased near Tahiti, where a man and woman living together are officially considered husband and wife. (They also have a son and daughter.)

IN recent years suffered from obesity and senile dementia. He died on July 1, 2004 in Los Angeles from pulmonary fibrosis.

Cary Grant

Real name: Archibald Alexander Leach.
Born January 18, 1904 in Bristol (Great Britain).
After graduating from school at the age of 14, he joined a troupe of boy acrobats that performed in music halls. As part of this troupe, he came to the USA in 1920 and stayed here. At first he worked in a variety show, then moved to theater stage, having managed to achieve leading roles in operettas and musical comedies.
He spoke the strongest Cockney and tried his best to get rid of the accent of the lower classes of London. Mixed with the language of English high society, which the young man sought to master, Cockney had a completely unexpected effect - it turned into an Australian dialect. Friends began calling him “kangaroo” and “boomerang.”
The exotic accent would become his calling card - it fit perfectly into the image of a noble, eccentric and slightly strange hero. The time will come, and women will be thrilled by his drawn-out, consonant-swallowing voice coming from the screen.
In 1932, leaving the stage, he went to Hollywood, which he entered “through the back door”: he was a partner in a screen test for an actress and the producer liked him. Paramount Pictures offered him a contract for five years, and at the same time a long list of names and surnames, from which he chose the most sonorous: “Cary Grant.” As part of a long-term contract, he starred in 25 of his 72 films, without brilliance, but feeling confident in any genre, and only in 1936, making a duet with Katharine Hepburn in the film “Sylvia Scarlett”, he, according to in the words of director J. Cukor, “found himself firmly on his feet.” His bad guy, a cockney rogue, won the audience's attention.
Over the next five years he created a number of outstanding comedic images- from romantic lovers and eccentric eccentrics to frankly farcical heroes (“The Awful Truth”, “Only Angels Have Wings”, “His Girl Friday” , “The Philadelphia Story” / “The Philadelphia Story”, “Suspicion” / “Suspicion”). His performance was distinguished by an elegant casualness, the ability to easily reveal the comic and romantic potential of the role.
Over the years, Grant changed: his face became harder, a stern crease appeared at his lips, and the first gray hair appeared in his hair. The sweetness was gone - now it was a face strong man, and it benefited my career. Along with a new image came to him real success: from now on, his performance left a feeling of complete authenticity, utmost naturalness - Grant became one of the most organic actors in Hollywood.
His profession never betrayed him: in the fifties, thanks to Hitchcock, Grant became one of the most famous American film actors. In the films of the master of horror, viewers saw the real Grant: impeccable appearance, enormous charm - and the desire for destruction hidden behind this. While dealing with others, Hitchcock's Grant destroyed himself.
In subsequent films (Notorious, 1946; To Catch a Thief, 1955; North by Northwest, 1959), Grant lacked the lightness and persuasiveness of the earlier works.
His last job became a role in the film “Walk, Don’t Run”, 1966).
Having never received an Oscar for his roles, Grant was awarded a special Oscar for his contribution to cinema (1969).

In 1976 (he was already seventy-three), Grant met the one he had been looking for all his life.
The calm and friendly brown-haired Barbara Harris lived in London and was forty-six years younger than Cary Grant. He courted her for a long time; in 1978, Barbara moved to California with him, and in 1981 they got married.
With the fifth Mrs. Cary Grant he felt truly happy. The couple led a quiet, measured life. Grant grew old, but never turned into an old man: women still looked at him, and his wife was jealous. He died a death that any actor can dream of: while preparing to perform in front of fans, Carey felt sudden weakness. Two hours later he was hospitalized with a heart attack. Before closing his eyes forever, eighty-two-year-old Grant smiled slightly - he had dealt with the notorious loser Archie Leach and finally got what he wanted from life.
He passed away on November 29, 1986 in Davenport, Iowa.

Jean Marais (in the background is Jean Cocteau)

Fans of numerology claim that numbers can determine a person’s destiny.

If so, then the life of Jean Marais simply could not help but turn out in the most surprising way, because the date of his birth is expressed in three consecutive numbers: 12/11/13.

However, if you believe the biographers, the childhood of the future legend of French cinema was by no means cloudless. He constantly had to change schools, and not of his own free will: he was kicked out from everywhere as a notorious hooligan, a quitter and a troublemaker. And what else could you expect from a fatherless guy from a proletarian Parisian suburb?

Even in his mature years, Jean Marais remained the standard example of a cinematic hero-lover. All the more surprising is the fact that in childhood his mother considered him a freak. And Jean himself did not have a very high opinion of his appearance, believing that he was just “not too disgusting.”

In his early youth, Marais changed many occupations: he carried golf clubs for golfers, worked as a retoucher in a photo studio, and made copies from postcards. His emerging talent as an artist and sculptor allowed him to break into Parisian galleries and salons. But the young man’s main dream remained an acting career, and Marais tirelessly sent his photographs everywhere and always went to screen tests and theater auditions.

Alas, his love affair with the screen and stage did not want to take shape: he was denied admission to the Paris Conservatory (where they teach not singing at all, but dramatic skills), and in the theater, where he was able to get a job, he was not even able to play “food served”, he only got the roles of dumb characters like the 'fourth guard with a halberd'. And the first tiny film role, played in 1933, did not bring the long-awaited laurels.

If you add up the numbers that make up the date of birth of Marais and add one to them, you get 37. It was in the year 37 that a meeting took place that determined future fate Marais. And the one thanks to whom the previously “zero” actor made it to the “ten” was Jean Cocteau. The famous prose writer, poet, artist, playwright, director fell in love at first sight with a young man with a courageous face and body ancient god. Cocteau invited Marais to his play Oedipus the King, which became the starting point of a long-term creative and life union.

It is with Cocteau that the first major film role, played by Marais back in 1943, and subsequent cinematic successes are connected: ‘Beauty and the Beast’, ‘Orpheus’ and many others.

The image of an impeccable hero, a knight without fear or reproach, a courageous gentleman devoted to love, honor and duty, emerged in the 50s - 60s of the last century, when Marais starred in such films as 'The Count of Monte Cristo', 'The Iron mask', 'The Hunchback', 'Parisian Mysteries'. ‘Fantômas’ added fuel to the fire of fame, and one of the actor’s greatest successes was, according to critics, his role in the film ‘Donkey Skin’, where Marais’s partner was the then very young, but already quite famous Catherine Deneuve.

Marais had the opportunity to act in films with such famous directors as Clement, Renoir, Visconti, Bertolucci. However, according to critics, only in alliance with Cocteau, his Pygmalion, did the actor truly shine, while other directors failed to reveal the facets of his talent.

They say that Marais was wildly popular among women. Every day the postman delivered him packs of letters with declarations of love, and the most exalted fans who were on duty at the actor’s house even fainted at the sight of him. And Marais himself remained faithful to Cocteau for many years. And although everyone knew about their closeness, this delicate topic was then considered taboo and was not discussed. Moreover, at Cocteau’s insistence, the actor got married and began raising his adopted son.

Deeply shocked by Cocteau’s death, Jean Marais wrote: ‘Your hands touched me in 1937 and I was born again. I love you. And from now on I’ll just pretend that I’m alive.’ And in one of the interviews, which literally shocked France with its frankness, the actor said: “I thank God every day that he made me homosexual.”

Their recent roles Marais played in films in the mid-1990s, starring with Lelouch in Les Misérables and with Bertolucci in The Stolen Beauty. By that time, the actor had already moved from Paris to the south of France, to the small town of Vallauris, located approximately halfway between Cannes and Antibes. There he devoted a lot of time to the hobbies of his early youth - painting and sculpture. There he died of a heart attack, just over a month shy of 85 years old.

The Magnificent Timothy Dalton

Joker Johnny Depp

Fearless Bruce Willis
