Morning Man Classic: Rod Taylor!
Tippi Hedren is not the only beautiful star in The Birds. Her leading man, Rod Taylor, is a real stunner too.
I saw the movie last week at a 50th anniversary screening and was just taken aback by this handsome man who somehow, I had not been all that familiar with.
Taylor, who turned 83 last week, most recently appeared on the big screen in Quenton Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.
The Australian actor came to Hollywood in the 1950s and built himself up from a supporting actor into taking the lead in several well-remembered movies in addition to The Birds including 1960′s The Time Machine, 1963′s Sunday in New York, the title role in 1965′s Young Cassidy and 1973′s The Great Train Robbery with John Wayne.
In the 70s and 80s, Taylor began regularly working in television including the leads in the TV series including Bearcats!, Masquerade and Outlaws.

Don’t forget his role in “The VIPs” where he was the object of Maggie Smiths affection…The overworked boss and the loyal secretary. As Richard Burton is writing the check to save Amalgamated Tractors (Rod’s company) he asks Maggie Smith if Rod knows how much she loves him. Linda Christian was then out the door. And on a side note the duchess saved her home…

Growing up in the 60′s I had many many many wet dreams over this man. IN his day he was one mega-stud. Sexier then Rock or Troy Donohue or Robert Wagner ever was.
Gaspar Marino says:
I also always found him very sexy growing up.

Such a handsome man! How can you watch “The Birds” or “Time Machine” without seeing his good looks? I always thought he looked a lot like Robin Williams or, I guess, the other way around.
