Alan Bates
By way of marking the anniversary of the birth of fine British actor Alan Bates - a small tribute to a beautiful bearded man who for those of us 'of a certain age' will always hold a special place in our hearts for his appearances in classic late-60s and early-70s films, such as The Go-Between, Far From the Madding Crowd and, most of all, Women In Love - probably the first major studio picture to dare male full frontal nudity.

Alan Bates and yes, Oliver Reed too, were handsome, virile, incredibly sexy men who quite frankly got better-looking as they aged (as did Sean Connery).
Bates and Reed are very sadly missed......
