hi i'm one of the people always talking about silent film stars in your notes! may i humbly submit bert williams (lime kiln field day, the natural born gambler) as a new hot man 🤲
he was a hugely popular comedian of the early 20th century and one of the first black actors ever to star in a feature film. and, more relevantly to your blog, he was SO HANDSOME
google image search him at your own peril, though, because unfortunately due to the cultural climate of the time he often performed in blackface, walking the thin line between satirizing racial stereotypes and appeasing white audiences. (it's complicated!) also it frankly kills me that his vaudeville comedy partner george walker passed away before williams' transition to film because he was one of the most beautiful men i've ever seen so i'm including him as a bonus hot vintage man
new hot men <3
Merry Prankster George Walker (Hardly Visible) dancing at an Acid Test, mid-late 60s
Aida’s early career was characterized by her long and fruitful period of collaboration with Bert Williams and George Walker, the dominant black vaudeville/musical comedy team of the era. Around the time of Aida and George's marriage in 1899, Williams and Walker began to concentrate on writing and performing full-length musicals rather than stand-alone songs and sketches in the vaudeville tradition. Aida Overton Walker would go on to perform in all the Williams and Walker musicals and ultimately adopt the role of choreographer for their theater troupe.

Emerson String Quartet plays George Walker's "Lyric for Strings"
George Walker (June 27, 1922 – August 23, 2018) was the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music, in 1996.
I first heard this piece when the Emerson String Quartet performed it on the Tiny Desk concert celebrating their retirement after almost 50 (!) years of playing together.
Aida Overton Walker was a famous dancer in vaudeville. Her husband was George Walker, a well-regarded vaudeville comic who toured in a comedy team with Bert Williams, the most famous Black comedian of the day.
