20 Heartthrobs from the Golden Age of Hollywood

Before he was “The Godfather,” Marlon Brando was a Hollywood stud

Before he was “The Godfather” and widely lauded as the greatest actor of all time, Marlon Brando was a young star on the heels of Lee Strasberg training and a brief stint on the live stage.

But after scoring successful movie roles in “On the Waterfront” (1954) and “A Streetcar Named Desire” (1951), he became a Hollywood heartthrob. The actor was a known womanizer, too, fathering 11 children in his lifetime with his wives and lovers.

Marlon Brando’s sexy status has outlived him, as gifs of the actor flirtatiously rolling his eyes during his screen test for “A Streetcar Named Desire” are still driving the internet crazy.
