Hotties who were dead before you were born.

<p>I always thought Amelia Earhart and William Faulkner’s wife were hot.</p>

<p>I bet there are some women out there who have a thang for Warren Harding and Robert E. Lee.</p>

<p>Alexander Hamilton looks dashing on the $10 bill.</p>

<p>Also, young Ernest Hemingway.

<p>Nefertiti - she was dead before I was born:</p>

<p>This doesn’t apply to me, but to anybody born after 1971 Jim Morrison of The Doors is about the hottest man who ever lived.</p>

<p>Einstein’s first wife has that uptight-librarian appearance at first glance, but then she lets down the hair and unties the bow…</p>

<p>(UCLA band mom, like with you and Morrison, I just found out Faulkner’s wife didn’t die before I was born, but I say we play fast and loose with the rules)</p>

<p>Am I the only one wondering why they call it a “bust” of Nefertiti if it doesn’t show her bust?</p>

<p>I’m kinda surprised that the ladies aren’t showing any love for Abe “the Railsplitter” Lincoln and Andrew “Old Hickory” Jackson.</p>

<p>Regarding German philosophers, Nietzsche had that whole Johnny Depp “brooding genius” thing down pat, and Marx had the Russell Crowe “bad boy” thing going for him, but still, Schopenhauer looks like he must have been about the only German philosopher to have gotten as far as third base with any ACTUAL women (as opposed to the IDEAS of women).</p>

<p>Schopenhauer: <a href=“http://www.corrupt.org/data/files/arthur_schopenhauer/arthur_schopenhauer2.jpg[/url]”>http://www.corrupt.org/data/files/arthur_schopenhauer/arthur_schopenhauer2.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Wild Bill Hickock, if he shampooed more often…</p>

<p>I feel so shallow, but what the heck, will throw in my 2 cents…</p>

<p>I think Gregory Peck and JFK Jr. were both incredibly attractive. Not dead before I was born, but both gone now, unfortunately. </p>

<p>I had weird almost quasi-crushes on Lincoln and Grant when I was young (creepy, I know). I was a big civil war buff. Also liked toothy, sad-eyed Bobby Kennedy.</p>

<p>As for still alive, I think Jude Law is so handsome that he is almost pretty (we’re judging on looks alone, not personality, right?) Have seen b-ball player Wally Szerbiak (sp?) working out at the gym a few times, and he is also very handsome. </p>

<p>For women on the looks-only scale I’d say Sharon Stone, Vanessa Williams, Michelle Pfeiffer. I never understood all the fuss about Isabella Rossellini, Sophia Loren, or Audrey Hepburn, though know they’re tops on lots of people’s lists. Thought Princess Grace and Donna Reed were pretty perfect-looking though (almost too perfect…?). DO understand the fuss over Marilyn Monroe. Sad life, but unique look.</p>

<p>ILoveLA, you might want to cut Wild Bill some slack. Salon-grade shampoo was notoriously difficult to get in the Old West. Much less CONDITIONER.</p>

<p>Ispf72, I’d imagine your fantasy about wanting to be the meat in a Lincoln/Grant sandwich was a pretty popular one back in Civil War days. I’m kinda doubting that similar thoughts during WWII were pretty rare (FDR/Ike).</p>

<p>Cute thread - AMEN to Jim Morrison, but I was around then - BIG thing for him. Lindsey Buckingham is a close second - have been in love with THAT man for over thirty years (thank goodness he is still living!)</p>

<p>Loved Tyrone Power and all his movies, and I thought Buddy Holly was so cute, both sadly departed long before I showed up</p>

13

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, Jim Morrison was my sixth grade crush, and I have never quite gotten over him. <em>SIGH</em></p>

14

<p>Schmaltz - eeewe… I think I was about 13 at the time. My crushes were probably pretty tame!</p>

15

<p>oooh… James Dean
my mother always told us kids that she first dated my father (she was 16,he 19) b/c he looked like Tyrone Power, so I’ve always had a kind of “thing” for him.
Paul Newman in his young years (like in “Hud”) but he was pretty cute later on also.
Although he’s not dead,Robert Redford at any stage of his life.</p>

16

<p>Jackie O/Kennedy was absolutely gorgeous. She died a little over a year after I was born, but since we’re playing fast and loose with the rules…</p>

17

<p>I forgot to add – another early (but already late) crush - Eddie Cochran.</p>

I have always had the hots for Eugene Delacroix.
And while Im on the subject of hot dead painters.
Filippino Lippi had it goin on…<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Filippino_Lippi_007.jpg[/url]”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Filippino_Lippi_007.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>^^musicamusica: Nice!</p>

<p>This is a fascinating thread. It is difficult to put yourself in the mindset of a previous age when all you have to go on are old black/white photos of people in antiquated clothing. But some performers were as wildly popular as stars are today, without benefit of TV, recordings, or the internet…women used to throw flowers and sometimes themselves at the stage when Franz Liszt, Paganini, and (more recently) Rudolph Valentino performed.</p>

<p>I went to visit the studio of E Delacroix two years ago. H said I was like a giddy Elvis fan at Graceland.</p>
