Bette of Bette's Classic Movie Blog,
http://www.bettesmovieblog.blogspot.com/ is sponsoring a blogathon for a group called
Movember, striving for the education and research of prostate and other cancers in men. Every November, men grow moustaches in support of the cause, and Bette decided to advertise this worthy venture with a blogathon about classic stars with moustaches.

Movember. Also, click on this link if you would like to make a donation for the cause:
http://us.movember.com/donate/ I wanted to participate, and decided to try to find pictures of famous moustached stars
without their moustaches ... some still look great, others not so much. See what you think ...
 |
George Brent -- doesn't need a moustache to look great!
|
 |
Love this one -- somebody managed to make handsome, distinguished
Basil Rathbone look terrible with no moustache and a bad toupee in
"Tower of London" ... Plus, we get a bonus pic of Boris without hair!
|
 |
Errol Flynn in "The Prince and the Pauper" ...
well, really, does he ever look less than gorgeous? |
 |
| John Barrymore, the Great Profile doesn't need his moustache to look great! |
 |
William Powell in "Love Crazy" ... much better with a moustache ...
However, it would be a definite handicap here! |
 |
Clark Gable in "Night Nurse" ... still imposing without the
lip brush ... boy, Barbara Stanwyck isn't afraid of anybody! |
 |
Vincent Price in "The Mad Magician" ... he may be crazy,
but he is just as distinguished and handsome ... |
 |
| Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. ... what a cutie, with or without! |
I tried and failed to find a picture of David Niven without a moustache, even in his very young years ... I think he must have been born with it!
ADDENDUM: OOPS! FlickChick reminded me of David Niven in Wuthering Heights, sans moustache! So here he is, looking a little stunned (maybe he just got it waxed off), but just as handsome as ever!
