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.

Christopher Plummer

HNNNNNNNGGGGG.

Shirley MacLaine

Sidney Poitier

THE SHAT

Ian McKellen

I know he was on the first list, but look at the man. I can’t not.

Clint Eastwood

Look at this fucking hipster sweater.

Harry Belafonte

Blue steel!

Nichelle Nichols

Harrison Ford

We all know Ford had gotten hot by the time Star Wars and the Indiana Jones movies rolled around, but check him out before then:

Speaking of Star Wars (the title of my autobiography)…

Billy Dee Williams

Ellen Burstyn

Diana Rigg

Olenna Tyrell if you’re nasty.

James Earl Jones

Charlotte Rampling

Candice Bergen

Steve Martin

Sean Connery

Cybill Shepherd

Helen Mirren

Betty White

And finally, Leonard Nimoy, who isn’t really dead, you guys. He and his perfect bone structure are chilling with Robin Williams in a cabana somewhere. It’s fine.
