Golden & Gorgeous: Hollywood’s Hunkiest Stars By Robert Edelstein ReMIND Magazine For nearly two minutes, all we hear about — in TV news reports in the U.S., Italy and England — is that the world’s most eligible bachelor, the handsome Nickie Ferrante, is finally getting hitched, to a beautiful, wealthy heiress. It is the beginning of the 1957 romance An Affair to Remember. As we finally see Ferrante walk suavely down the gangway of a cruise ship in his tuxedo, even before we see his face, we can tell by that step, that voice and that style who it will be: film legend Cary Grant. How many men in the movies could ever live up to so vaunted a reputation? Say this for Grant, and for all the other classic Hollywood hunks you will see celebrated in this issue of ReMIND: They knew how to make an entrance, whether they were playing gruff or gritty, sensual or sentimental. Like John Wayne as the crusty but principled U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn, herding a wagon full of outlaws into the local jail in True Grit. Like Sean Connery, lighting a cigarette with casual elegance in Dr. No, delivering one of the most famous lines in movie history: “Bond —

Rock Hudson: © 1960 Universal Pictures Company, Inc. James Bond.” Along with those signature entrances, the Hollywood hunks all share another winning

quality — staying power. Once they hit the screen, we never want them to leave. These are the men

who have kept film fans riveted for decades. And in a sense, they were never hotter than in the 1950s and ‘60s. It was a

golden age of the movies when elegance and romance still had its postwar place, but the antihero emerged with a vengeance as Camelot begat Vietnam, and life onscreen and off saw both new freedoms and dark consequences. That’s when the movies needed stars (and characters) with rugged individuality to keep up with the times and to captivate the public, men who stuck by their code — no matter how bad things got — and turned honor into an art form. Those are the stars you’ll see in these pages, with careers and roles that spanned and defined the times. It’s Gregory Peck, standing out as country lawyer Atticus Finch, fighting for the rights of the oppressed in To Kill a Mockingbird. It’s the laconic, poncho-wearing nameless man with a gun Clint Eastwood played in the three spaghetti Westerns that, ironically enough, made his name. And if you wanted a little bromantic chemistry, you got it from Robert Redford and Paul Newman, riding the range and cracking wise in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. You’ll get a taste of Spencer Tracy’s rough wisdom — and you’ll like it. And a See HUNKS — Page 6

Is Homeland setting a new record?

Question: I’m glad Homeland is finally returning. But is 22 months between seasons a record? —Oliver Matt Roush: This could be the longest hiatus for a continuing series. Game of Thrones comes close, with a long lapse between the penultimate season (which ended Aug., 2017) and final season (which premiered April, 2019). Homeland’s is even longer, having wrapped its sixth season on April, 2018 and not scheduled to return until Feb., 2020. This is an insanely long wait for Homeland’s final chapter. (Although Better Call Saul is getting up there. It wrapped its fourth season in October 2018 and still hasn’t announced a start date for Season 5.) At this point, I will need a refresher when these shows return. Question: With all the streaming options available now, why can’t networks drop a couple of episodes to give us closure? I liked Sunnyside all right . I wish they could have at least let me know if their friend got a chance at citizenship. —Michelle Matt Roush: The good news for Sunnyside is that the series will produce 11 episodes—only four aired on NBC—and it’s possible there will be some sort of closure by the time production wraps. Fans can find the unaired episodes as they roll out on the NBC app, the network website and Hulu. To submit questions to TV Critic Matt Roush, go to: tvinsider.com.
