<p>as much fun as this is, i gotta go…maybe i can find a rerun of HOUSE!!! good night all!</p>
<p>Another Brit (and sorry to correct above poster, but Hugh Laurie is most definately a Brit- see also “Sense and Sensibility” for a small but great role)…Joseph Feinnes (brother of ‘English Patient" Ralph)…he played Elizabeth’s lover in the first Cate Blanchett “Elizabeth” movie…definately swoon material with smokin’ eyes.</p>
<p>I have a Paul Newman story from my Gap Years, waitressing in Concord, New Hampshire, between college and grad school.</p>
<p>No, it’s not what you think…you’re bad!!</p>
<p>He loves racecars, and was racing one up in Loudon, NH. He came into this steak house, wearing a driver’s jacket, with his entourage of car guys.</p>
<p>I was so junior on staff I couldn’t possibly compete to wait on his table, but the young woman who did came running into the kitchen, waving a few ounces of steak.
“He LEFT this on his plate, and I’m taking it home. I’m gonna bronze it.”</p>
<p>I went over to the bartender who was looking very pupil-dilated for someone who never drank. Dreamily, he said, “Paul Newman. He spoke to me.”</p>
<p>“What did he say?” I pounded him on the chest, like Elaine in Seinfeld.</p>
<p>“He said…‘Where…is…the…bathroom?’ And he asked ME…”</p>
<p>I left the bartender in dreamland. It was exciting. The waitress said the table left her a great tip.</p>
<p>Long live Britannia! Must be all that rain and gloom that makes their men so yummy!</p>

<p>We’re over here wondering how so many middle school girls suddenly took over their mothers’ CC screen names all at once on the same thread.</p>
<p>lol! Great story, payingthree. Yep, he did get that kind of reaction from people. Even straight guys.</p>
<p>LOL, coureur!</p>
<p>George Harrison’s birthday is in February.</p>
<p>But I like Dusty, Al Pacino and deNiro. What’s up with that?</p>
<p>House is fine, but I’ll admit it, I like the guy who plays Dr. Wilson- not sure if it is the relationship, the character or if I would find that actor appealing.</p>
<p>Brad Pitt is too pretty, give him 20 years and we’ll see.</p>
<p>P3- you like Tony Soprano too? Is it mafia you like or just bad boys?</p>
<p>Brad Pitt was too pretty a few years ago, but now that he is over 40 and getting a few character lines, he is looking pretty good.</p>
<p>great, coureur! so i had to come back 1 more time to say ( i can’t believe this!) yes, i stand corrected…i went to the Hugh Laurie website!!! now i know i’ve lost it! he was born in 1959 in Oxford, England. he has a long list of accomplishments, but i learned he also does voiceovers for TV commercials!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Whoops! Actually, I did mean DH. Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford…all the same to me.</p>
<p>I also still find Robt Redford very attractive, but I wish he’d let his hair go gray…</p>
<p>lol - motherdear. Do a google image search of Paul Newman, and you will never again mistake him for Dustin!</p>
<p>Paul Newman bears no resemblance to Dustin Hoffman. None. Paul has always been at the top of my list, something my daughter has never understood. Her idea of HOT HOT is Clive Owen, which I think is a little different for a 16 yr old. She’s always liked manly men, though. No wimps for her.</p>
<p>I agree that Brad Pitt has aged very well. I never liked him until a couple of years ago, but now I’ve changed my mind. Maybe it is just senility.</p>
<p>Matt Damon, though, not really all that much. Cute enough, I guess.</p>
<p>Dr. Wilson??? Isn’t he our former “Dead Poet’s Society” dramatist (who commits suicide in the movie). </p>
<p>And I do find that new James Bond quite dishy.</p>
<p>Robert Sean Leonard…THAT’s his name (Dr. Wilson from House MD)</p>
<p>^^^Yes, I agree about the new Bond. (Daniel Craig)</p>
<p>So how did the People people come up with Damon when none of us agree? Who were they polling, anyway?</p>
<p>I agree that Paul and Dustin look nothing alike. They just blend together for some reason.</p>
<p>When I was in hs and college, we all thought Tom Cruise was the epitome of cuteness whether he was in Risky Business or Top Gun. His Scientology stance and other oddities definitely diminished his appeal.</p>
<p>Yes, Robert Sean Leonard was in Dead Poet’s Society, and I lliked him way back then, too, at least I am loyal</p>
