Definitely "The Duke". I have a silver tin of him hanging on my medicine cabinet door, John Wayne toilet paper and a picture and a rope hanging on the patio!! And, behind him is Ben Johnson because he is from my home town of Pawhuska, Oklahoma where they have the Ben Johnson Memorial Steer Roping!!

Everyone mentioned excellent actors and actresses. I loved Bogey and Bacall. Bacall still has that sultry voice. It depends on the genre Jack Palance in war movies, John Wayne in westerns and war movies, Maureen Sullivan was a beauty, Katherine Hepburn had class, Spencer Tracey, James Cagney was the best thug and Johnny Wiesmiller for Tarzan.

I admired Jean Simmons, Lauren Bacall , Kate Hepburn , Lana Turner and Elisabeth Taylor, both had good looks and made good films I am sorry they had such tragic happenings in their private lives. Charlton Heston, Jimmy Steward, Gary Cooper. and now Richard Gere These were some that I especially liked seeing. The golden age produced many good actors, actresses.and great films

Oh thanks whoever you are for mentioning Kenneth More! Also Jack Hawkins [remember "The Cruel Sea"?] ...and in the US, Sterling Hayden, Glenn Ford [remember him in "Gilda"?] and of course Gregory Peck ["Keys to the Kingdom" was his first big role].
So what do we have now? Smooth-faced interchangeable boys [tell me how you can tell them apart?] who have no true screen presence no matter how the script is written for them. The real screen heroes of our memories in here had personal impact--no matter how banal the plot, we sat in the popcorn-scented darkness in the company of Real Men. I almost fell on the floor laughing at the sheer stupidity of casting a wuss like DiCaprio in the part of Howard Hughes! Imagine what Robert Ryan would have done with THAT part!

John Wayne was but one; Hopalong Cassidy was another, and, of course, the swashbuckling Granger brothers, Stewart and Farley, and James Stewart -- did you see him in the movie about the Royal Lipizzaners? Outstanding!
Oh, how I loved those black and white movies, and the fact that some stuff was left to our imaginations -- Cary Grant and the "Wall of Jericho" -- the blanket strung up over the bed.
