Barbara Stanwyck as Jessica Drummond My Reputation (1946), directed by Curtis Bernhardt
It's my 13 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
Maybe one of those years I spent posting stuff on here
Oh hi I haven’t been on here in like a year
Be seeing you.
Be seeing you.
All of these are exquisite!
Shameless plug time. I have several novels spawned by McGoohan characters. The Twisting Time trilogy was dreamed up after watching Ice Station Zebra and imagining a love story for David Jones after the ISZ situation ended.
Machine Gun Eyes is imagining a non-murderous and devilishly sexy Nelson Brenner going up against a modern day Dr Syn in a love triangle.
Loyalty and Love is John Drake in love. The novella “Cryptographer’s Romance (which originally had a sad ending but they made me change it to a happy one), is a fun one — John Drake dealing with an aggressive young crush.
You can find all these in ebook at eXtasybooks.com, or at my author page at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Luann+Lewis+author (although they sneak some books in there that have nothing to do with me 🫤), or through my website links: www.frommindtopen.com
Of course, I had a fan fiction labor of love that followed John Drake from a love affair into The Village as Number 6 which still exists somewhere out there in Archive of Our Own I think, and a story about the love of John Kingsley (Kings and Desperate Men) — not the best movie, but a wonderfully complex character — also fanfiction, but I’m hoping to turn that one into a novel some day.
So, that’s the commercial interruption, now we can get back to the dazzling entertainment—photos of Mr. McGoohan. ❤️❤️❤️
A brace of heroes.
I really think Patrick would have respected Buster's work because of his innovation and his willingness to do ANYTHING
This GIF (credit goes to @dangermannumber6) of Number Six when he answers the door does something to me: that stance and the look on his handsome features!🥵😈
Who is the hottest old movie man? (round 3)
Humphrey Bogart
Buster Keaton
Propaganda
Humphrey Bogart (Casablanca, Key Largo, Sabrina)—John Huston speaking at Bogart's funeral: "Himself, he never took his work too seriously. He regarded the somewhat gaudy figure of Bogart, the star, with an amused cynicism; Bogart, the actor, he held in deep respect … In each of the fountains at Versailles there is a pike which keeps all the carp active; otherwise they would grow over-fat and die. Bogie took rare delight in performing a similar duty in the fountains of Hollywood. Yet his victims seldom bore him any malice, and when they did, not for long. His shafts were fashioned only to stick into the outer layer of complacency, and not to penetrate through to the regions of the spirit where real injuries are done … He is quite irreplaceable. There will never be another like him."
Buster Keaton (The General, The Navigator, Sherlock Jr.)—For me Buster’s hotness comes not just from his physical beauty but in the constant surprise and contradictions of the man, he’s simultaneously delicate/rough, feminine/masculine, confident/vulnerable, 5foot5 pretty face with an unexpectedly deep voice, at first glance you think oh he’s a cute little thing and then he takes his top off and it’s Superman abs underneath. He was intensely shy in social situations but had no hesitation in jumping off the top of a building. He famously never smiled on screen* but he exudes warmth and joy and laughter. He created some of the most beautiful, intelligent movies ever made but refused to acknowledge his own genius and talent as an artist, instead maintaining that all he wanted to do was make people laugh. If he was here in reality competing in this poll he would give it 100% but he would not be at all bothered if he didn’t win. And that’s why he’s the hottest vintage man. A vote for Buster is a vote for all that is good and decent in the world 💕 (*he did smile on camera occasionally despite his own assertions to the contrary 😄)
This is round 3 of the bracket. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.

Buster Buster Buster always Buster
I mean, how could you not??
You excited about coming to live with us, hon? You will be. Trust me. — THE SOPRANOS 1.02: 46 long

Yoooooooo…
“Who do I love and admire? Barbara Stanwyck." —Henry Fonda
(From Hank & Jim: The Fifty-Year Friendship of Henry Fonda and James Stewart by Scott Eyman, 2017)
Apparently someone grew up watching this and thought "Imma cast him as Edward Longshanks". So you can't really blame me for being so terrified by this man.
Gifs of McGoo in Danger Man….you mean GIFTS
Who Patrick'd it better
This brings back the infamous McGoo/Macnee fan war of 2021 (I think that was the year) 😫
Job interviewer: "What makes you think you can be a secret agent?"
McGoohan: "I have nine lives."
Disclaimer: Science isn't advanced enough to prove that McGoohan is 90% feline yet and my blog is the last place on earth you should go to for McGoohan facts. And it's hard to find the sources for the cat photos so the links may not be to the original posters: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
