Sexy comes in all shapes, sizes, colors and attitudes. This list contains my personal picks of the sexiest men ever to grace the big and small screens.

1. Gary Cooper

Born to Alice Cooper and Charles Cooper. Gary attended school at Dunstable school England, Helena Montana and Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa (then called Iowa College).

A talented actor with a wide range of roles on his resume, Cooper is as classic American handsome as you can get. A very humble man his warmth and charisma shine in all of his films. Check him out in one of his early films "Today We Live" he was so handsome and sexy, and his voice...it melts you.

2. Robert Taylor

Born Spangler Arlington Brugh, Robert Taylor began displaying a diversity of talents in his youth on the plains of Nebraska.

Described by many as the prettiest man they had ever met, the handsome actor had a long and successful career as a leading man from the 1930's to 1950's. One actor said "Taylor had the most beautiful eye lashes and eyes, he could melt any woman and almost any man". Check him out in the Joan Crawford classic "The Gorgeous Hussy".

One of thirteen children, including fellow actor Steve Forrest, he was a son of Annis (Speed) and Charles Forrest Andrews, a ...

Dana Andrews was sex on a stick. In his heyday in the early forties, Andrew's every man persona and incredible physical condition makes him the kind of guy you wouldn't mind smacking you around because you know the make up sex will be unbelievable. Check him out in "Daisy Kenyon" or the noir classic "Laura".

5. Robert Mitchum

Actor | Out of the Past

Robert Mitchum was an underrated American leading man of enormous ability, who sublimated his talents beneath an air of disinterest.

Check out Mitchum's self produced "Thunder Road". He is at his utmost sexiness in that film. His son also stars in the film and looks just like his dad. Who wouldn't want to run moonshine and chain smoke all day with him! mmmmmm Daddy!

What can I say...He's Cary Grant. Check him out in "The Awful Truth" and "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House" two of my favorites where his comedic talents really shine. His roles became rather stale in later years where he basically was just playing himself, but his early films are great.

7. Kirk Douglas

Actor | The Final Countdown

Cleft-chinned, steely-eyed and virile star of international cinema who rose from being "the ragman's son" (the name of his best-selling 1988 autobiography) to become a bona fide superstar, Kirk Douglas, also known as Issur Danielovitch Demsky, was born on December 9, 1916 in Amsterdam, New York. ...

What can I say about Kirk Douglas? I can say he was a stud! A mans man who had no fear, he stood up for what he believed in front and behind the camera. The sexual energy he produces is amazing. I get a tingle everytime I see one of his early movies. Check out his first starring role in "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers".

8. Marlon Brando

Actor | Apocalypse Now

Marlon Brando is widely considered the greatest movie actor of all time, rivaled only by the more theatrically oriented Laurence Olivier in terms of esteem.

Marlon in his prime "Street Car Named Desire" or "Guys and Dolls" a more prime piece of man you will never find. He revolutionized acting and set the stage for an entire generation of up and coming actors behind him.

Dreamy Tab Hunter stood out in film history as one of the hottest teen idols of the 1950s era. With blond, tanned, surfer-boy good looks, he was artificially groomed and nicknamed "The Sigh Guy" by the Hollywood studio system, yet managed to continue his career long after his "golden boy" prime.

Lean, angular-faced and authoritatively spoken lead / supporting actor Roy Scheider obviously never heard the old actor's axiom about "never appearing with kids or animals" lest they overshadow your performance.

If you have not seen the cult classic "The Seven Ups" you need to rent it today! Not only is this one of the best cop films ever made, it stars pre Jaws Roy Scheider, one smoking hot NYC undercover detective who looks sooooo good in those tight 70's jeans he wears.
