 George O'Brien 

1899—1985

Sometimes, the looks of silent stars don't quite translate to modern libidos—the men may be skinnier or fatter than we're used to, the women may be got up in bizarre-looking period outfits or the victims of long-since-unfashionable grooming and accessorizing. But George O'Brien's looks suffer no such translation difficulty. Later one of the handsomest movie cowboys ever,  O'Brien started his career in silents, where he was a wildly popular and all-purpose leading man. Most famously, he's the male lead in Murnau's brilliant 1927 film Sunrise, in which he played "The Man"—he's the man! Before his acting career, he was a WWI vet and a champion boxer—which shows through in his many physique poses and in several roles as boxers. After a long career, he made appearances at conventions celebrating the golden age of movie westerns.
