Writing that post about actors who hate their good movies got me thinking about how hot young Christopher Plummer was, which, to be fair, isn’t exactly a subject I haven’t ruminated on before. He’s not the only one for whom the sands of time has erased a lot of people’s knowledge about how bammin’ slammin’ bootylicious they used to be. And in some cases still are. Heyyyyy, Helen Mirren.

You can consider this a spiritual sequel to Joanna’s list from 2013 of 20 Actors You May Have Forgotten Were Once Face-Meltingly Hot. Michael Gambon? More like Michael Damnbon.

This list is brought to you by Brooklyn hipster Stalin.
