I lived in Sausalito in the eighties and was walking down Caledonia street one sunny day and saw this guy passing by me… it was Sterling Hayden … I could’nt believe it!😮

[@sah1681]

I am reading his two books: Finished reading his maritime novel, "1896" and just finished his autobiography, "Wanderer". He was a superb mariner and didn't give a horse's rear to "the establishment"! He was not materialistic person, more on the spiritual side, a man of his own! As a member of our Greatest Generation, he did not cash in on his hero status as far as I know. God bless his soul. R.I.P. capt'n 👍

[@heatherwhittaker6169]

He was handsome ,,tall and talented . Therew doesn't appear to be many men like this anymore.Sadly.

[@jimsteele3423]

Great Actor

[@dmr8914]

A misandrist comment

[@louispaine820]

He's a legitimate Alpha Male, so was the little guy who won the Medal of Honor and a good acting career just smaller!

[@kmr9347]

The age of the "naturally" handsome & talented actors are over. Those men of the golden age of Hollywood are a dying breed. Actors nowadays are pampered, spoiled and over paid for the junk these studios keep churning out. Give me Bogie , Edward G and even throw in Gene Kelly, anyday. 😊

[@julieb737]

I agree 100% . Give me John Wayne , James Cagney and Charlton Heston over any modern actor . Altho he’s a good actor I don’t think he’s handsome tho , but I’m not old enough to know if in his day he was considered to be or not .

[@fabergeegg1722]

@@julieb737 Oh man! I think he was one of many, many actors of that era that were stunning!! The actors today look like the average next-door neighbors! The same goes for the actresses. The women back then were incredibly beautiful! They make this BS statement today that actresses have natural beauty. PLEASE! They don't have it like the golden age of Hollywood. My mother had a friend who worked in Hollywood in the costume department. Ava Gardner requested if she would like to be her secretary. She turned it down. She said, Ava was thee most jaw dropping gorgeous lady she had ever seen. She said pictures and movies didn't do her incredible beauty justice. She said even without make up she was amazing, and that went for a lot of other movie stars from that era. Was there something in the water back then? You just don't see men and women with incredible good looks like those people had back then.

[@fabergeegg1722]

@Kmr9347, I agree with you totally. The actors and actress's natural good looks were extraordinary verses today they look so average and what they consider good looking, beautiful, handsome, Adonis, etc. is a joke! And the actors and actresses today as people are such losers! The movie stars in the golden age of Hollywood were taught to treat their fans graciously and carried themselves with some dignity. Don't get me wrong, there were some jerks back then, but basically the majority were very likeable. They understood back then a lot of things came with the territory. I think the studio system molded them, and helped them to grow in that respect. Also, there was a mystique about them that made them special. Everyone was unique and stood out as individuals. No two movie stars were the same. There was one Clark Gable, one Rita Hayworth, on and on and you knew immediately who they were. Today when you see them, you immediately know its Judy Garland, or John Wayne, etc. Today they are washed out, sloppy, and you can mistake one for another. I agree with you, the films are just video games that are complete junk and their scrips every other word is the F-word! Or complete toilet humor, bed hopping, gross gore and violence, etc.

Sterling was a total bad ass and world class sailor, as well as a great actor…

[@jerrycallender9927]

I saw him in St. Thomas during a Christmas trip, and he was totally looney! He was living on a sloop taking tourists out for day-sails.

[@kjgammon1658]

Wrong...John Huston's movie "the asphalt jungle" was a hit... made profit, critically acclaimed at the time..

[@dorothychambers3956]

Very handsome man, thanks for another great video

[@calbob750]

Who could forget Sterling’s role as Brigadier General Jack D Ripper in “Dr. Strangelove”.

[@kinpatsu6366]

He had the BEST monologue in Dr. Strangelove about how fluoride in the water has taken a man's "essence." I think perhaps that he was right.

[@BobAdragna]

He was a stunning young man................... swoon.

[@MightyMezzo]

Hayden and Barbara Stanwyck in “Crime of Passion.” Yum.

[@jamesmurray8558]

Gen.Jack D.Ripper was his best role.

[@robertcuminale1212]

No Captain McCluskey in The Godfather?

[@pbohearn]

Tall, Light, and handsome

[@ericsonhazeltine5064]

And his novel, “Voyage,” is very good too

[@immaterialimmaterial5195]

Love all of his film noirs and Johnny Guitar and his Stanley Kubrick films. Good stuff!

[@Chutney1luv]

I thought that you would say that Sterling had various children in different countries! Women do love a Sailor!! ❤️🫡⛵️⚓️⛵️

[@aprilporter6092]

Prior to cancer, he spent his days as a drunk, barely coherent & living on a dilapidated French barge. You can see for yourself in the documentary Pharos of Chaos. It's a shame -and sad- when people are carried off with addiction.

[@d.l.l.6578]

Gee, a man who acted like a man. What happened to them?

[@kennyc388]

They were de-nutted in our dismal institutes of lower learning.

[@michaelmcgee8543]

He was a good actor.

[@timmccarty8111]

😮no mention of the Godfather? Or did I miss that?

[@Chutney1luv]

No!! They didn't mention that he was the cracked cop in the Godfather! 🤔smh

[@Patti-sg1fv]

Agree 💯 He was great in that movie and had me totally convinced he was a corrupt police captain 👍

[@johnscanlan9335]

No! The O.S.S. was the Office of STRATEGIC Services

[@lizbrown7232]

He always looked mean IMO.

[@lanacampbell-moore6686]

Thanks A.O.V.❤

[@roselyncampisi822]

I really never heard of him. To me he doesn't look that handsome but I am sure he had charisma.

[@victoriajarvis2260]

He wrote an autobiography that I have read is a great work of literature. I plan to buy it. - Sorry he fell for the Commie spiel. A lot of naive and good people did because the turn of the century brought us a Depression, then 1929, WWI, etc., Those people saw such catastrophe and desperate poverty and suffering, and they believed that there was enough money in the world that people could all survive and live in an utopian peace. (Well, there is that much money...) But it never works out - except in fairytales, and Hayden was one of the believers. Of course, true "Communists" are really Fascists and Fascism ain't no fairytale.

[@Jasona1976]

And here too I thought you were going to tell us that he was gay as a goose!!

[@FilPol-yu1es]

No, not everyone is homosexual. Sorry Queer "community."

@@FilPol-yu1es more than bigots , just like you, thought possible.

[@stephenpmurphy591]

Gay, in the original definition. He was happy.

[@Jasona1976]

@@stephenpmurphy591 Perhaps he was neither , or both. Ever think of that?

[@veteranbroad8802]

I guess (lookswise)he was hot copy 70yrs ago. I recall some of his films but, he wasn't standout to me.

[@user-qh2us7ky1p]

Please tell handsome Yuri Gagarin. Pliz.??? ))

[@phillipshosie9233]

This video is right beneath an advertisement, "Celebrate Pride with LGBTQ+ creators." On my device anyway. And I thought this Hayden vid was straight attached to that gay thing.

[@michaelmcgee8543]

What type Stalinist or Carl Marx version!

[@sandramercado1804]

god??? Please!!! Another human being, great actor and entertainment, but that's it. He got old, like every men

[@annepoitrineau5650]

Stirling Hayden was not the ost beautiful man in the movies...He was handsome. The rest is evidence of a spot of American racism: ideal man looking like a viking (Lindbergh also comes to mind). the Aryan idealisation of the Germans did not come out of nowhere, and there was a bit of it in lots of places. Russians today also like to think of themselves as blond descendants of the Rus (The name given by the Finns to the Swedes who founded Kievan Rus) because this is how they got their name. In fact, Russians are mixed with Uralics, Turkics, Mongols, other Indo-Euroepans, Siberians etc. Anyways, in the 20s, Italians were thought of as non-white it seems.

[@pbohearn]

In fact, in Spain, Portugal, and in southern Italy, especially Sicily, if you look at the genetic contributions of the populace, they do show a heritage, influenced by history of conquest and re-conquest and visitors from Africa especially north Africa. One writer said that Africa ends at the northern end of Spain. So those in southern Europe, who had the most interaction with Northern Africa, often do shows similar features, and thus were considered African. They probably look more like Moroccans than they do the Swedes, and that is established in their genetic heritage.

[@d.l.l.6578]

How is that racism????? Since when is it not ok to be white? That IS racism.

[@carriedillmann4455]

Maybe it was his easy going way but I didn’t think he was a good actor

[@jimsteele3423]

Great Actor
