It's snowy here. Time to break out the sweaters and what better way to do it than with a collection of handsome vintage fellas from the world of show biz! Hopefully, you'll brush up against one of your favorites in this collection (which contains several of my own beloved men - some of whom have tributes here. Just click on his name if it's highlighted.) Thanks to our cover boy today, a ready-to-skate Rory Calhoun.
 |
| One of the silver screen's most enduring icons (though more for his sheik or tango-dance garb than for his appearances wearing a sweater.) |
 |
| Silent screen (and talkie) heartthrob George O'Brien, who we utterly adore. |
 |
| The beautiful, zestful Errol Flynn, who demonstrated casual elegance in virtually all of his 1930s clothing. |
 |
| Young Robert Taylor in the days before his looks turned harder and more rugged. |
 |
| Nattily-dressed Scott Brady. |
 |
| Healthy and handsome Gene Kelly (going commando under his light sweater.) |
 |
| Tennis anyone? Peter Lawford is serving up a bold-patterned, sporty sweater. |
 |
| Jack Lord, before his wave of hair was fully-perfected, in a melon-colored sweater. |
 |
| Handsome Guy Madison has a death-grip on this piece of fence (and, if you believe the rumors, sometimes had a good grip on pal Rory Calhoun, too!) |
 |
| Rock Hudson is rocking the sweater vest versus one with sleeves, but I let him in today's club anyway. |
 |
| Gorgeous Tab Hunter models a ski sweater (which would also be appropriate for ice-skating, at which he was quite proficient.) |
 |
| Surly James Dean offers a darker side to today's topic. |
 |
| Young Steve McQueen has a pensive moment. |
 |
| I wonder what's caught Hugh O'Brian's attention as he models a canary-yellow cardigan. |
 |
| Robert Vaughn is a little bit rusty in his heavy knit. |
 |
| A rare shot of western star Clint Walker in a contemporary sweater. Editor's Note: This photo was added after the post was up for several days, but finding it soon after I had to include it for posterity! |
|
|
 |
| James Garner models a classic look: the solid color sweater over a white turtleneck. |
 |
| George Segal is bundled up in a thick cardigan. |
 |
| The complicated Jack Cassidy gives us a piercing pose. |
 |
| Cutie-patootie Robert Conrad looks as if he might have snagged his sleeve a bit on the rough crate they've given him to pose upon! |
 |
| Pretty boy Troy Donahue was fond of wearing cardigans and sweaters in his 1960s films. |
 |
| Warren Beatty in the early days of his long career. |
 |
| Pat Boone sports a classic-style v-neck sweater. |
 |
| George Peppard doesn't even have his sweater on, but how could I resist that beaming smile? |
 |
| Rugged Rod Taylor softens things up a bit with a cashmere pullover. |
 |
| Fabian Forte causes us to choose between those pretty eyes and that considerable hint of chest hair. |
 |
| On the subject of eyes, it's hard to beat the beautiful ones of Rick Nelson. |
 |
| We wrap this up with a 1980s star whose chiseled good looks harkened back to the pretty-boy days of the late-50s & early-60s, the beautiful Jon-Erik Hexum. |
