    James Stewart, Gregory Peck and David Niven. (although I don't recall any movies of David Nivens, I love his books)

  Actually I don't recall movies of any of them, except for Gregory peck in To Kill a Mockingbird.

James Stewart I remember telling stories and poems on Johnny Carson....he's so sweet.

Robert Redford, James Dean, Bettie Page.
 
 Funny thing is, Heckyl & Jeckyl had no idea who Paul Newman was, apart from being the "salad dressing guy".

James Garner- Grand Prix is my favourite
Paul Newman- take your pick on Newman films
Steve McQueen- Bullit, never in a movie has just facial expressions blow me a way acting wise. Yeah I know the car chase, but that's too easy.
Michael Caine- I just like his movies
Then
He's not old but Alan Rickman rules.

LOL PC.. I wonder if anyone would pick up on that.

  I still remember (and hear on occasion) the story of my dad, and his fiancee at the time, my dads sister and her fiancee at the time piling in my parents VW Van they called 'olga' and driving from Vancouver down to San Francisco, California to watch 'Deepthroat' when it first came out.

I know more about this story than many of mine cause it keeps getting repeated. lol.
