Paul Newman
Although his films are from the sixties, Paul Newman has to be on the list as one of the great male legends in film history that he is. American actor, director, and producer, his first successful role was as boxer Rocky Graziano in 'Marked by Hate'. From him we can highlight those blue eyes and his dramatic facet, but, in case you didn't know, he also had his own sauce for making Italian pasta, Newman's Own.
James Dean
James Byron Dean is the great cinematographic icon of the fifties. His stage in the cinema took off with his role in 'East of Eden' in 1955. James Dean played Cal Trask, and their next success was in 'Rebel Without a Cause', until completing the cast of 'Giant' with Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson.
His characters were solitary, shy and reserved, making him more attractive, if that was already possible. A declared fan of the motor and speed world, a traffic accident in California put an end to his promising career at the age of 24.
Cary Grant
Cary Grant's elegance and his special charm also led him to be another of the most desired men in Hollywood, considered by many to be the most handsome actor in history, and with great success in his forties and fifties.
Some of his best-known films are 'To Catch a Thief', from 1955, with Grace Kelly, in which he plays the jewel thief John Robie, who was called 'The Cat', and 'With Death on his heels', in which he starred with Eva Marie Saint.
Clark Gable
Clark Gable's heyday may have been in the 1930s, but we couldn't leave him off the list. In his filmography, there are blockbusters such as 'The mysterious six' or 'A free soul', until his consecration as a great star in 1939 with 'Gone with the Wind'. From the 50s, 'Mogambo' stands out, and in 1960 he starred in his last work, 'Rebel Lives' with Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift.
John Wayne
John Wayne was known as 'the Duke', and we could talk about his unmistakable voice timbre or also his peculiar way of walking. He was a symbol of 'the masculine' and an American icon. His career began in silent films in the 1920s and it is impossible not to mention his relationship with actress Maureen O'Hara, with whom he shared the lead in films such as 'The Río Grande' or 'The Quiet Man'.
