Ooooh, I thought of three more silent-screen hotties I’d lift my veil for: John Gilbert, Max Linder and Doug Fairbanks . . .
Peter Lorre, sad crush since 12; Marlene Dietrich, sad crush til Now…
The Empress Theodora (Justinian’s wife). No telling what tricks she knew…
Christine de Pisan, just for the post-coital conversation.
Lola Montez.
Sarah Bernhardt.
Mary Pickford.
Katy Jurado.
Plenty of Dopers are aware of my obsession with Mr. Miller.
Clark Gable-no way. He had REALLY bad breath, from what I gather.
Another man in line for Grace Kelly. The first time I saw Rear Window on a big screen I nearly fainted.
Or Natalie Wood, circa West Side Story.
And I’m not gay, but then I’m not a necrophiliac, either, so in the interest of speculation: Cary Grant.
Marilyn Monroe, easily. Like wildebeasts, even. 
Very interesting thread! LOL Not many female responders, though… I shall try to help out with that. 
William Holden
or
Robert Mitchum
Mid-50s era for both, although frankly, both remained quite sexy later in life, IMHO. Remember Mitchum in * The Winds of War * and * War and Remembrance * ? Both actors exuded sexual energy, at least to me. 
I don’t really have much knowledge dead celebrities nor have I watched many old movies but from what I do know, I’d fancy ** Marilyn Monroe. ** Yum.
That’s a fantastic Yul Brynner gallery, Arden Ranger. I swear if I weren’t straight…
I don’t know if I could find it in my heart to boink/do/make love to Grace Kelly. She’s such an esotheric beauty. Perhaps if the mood is just right…
I second Sharon Tate. Definitely.
Steve Reeves (Muscular men make me melt)
John Payne (You may remember him from the 1947 Miracle on 34th St.)
And while he’s not dead, I would do Clint Walker as he was in the 1960s.
Natalie Wood, Natalie Wood, and then Natalie Wood again. She’s got that Eastern European nasty going on. And **Dewey, et al. **she’d know how to use her fingers right!
And I want to hang out with Gene Kelley. Shit, just the leftovers from the women going after those dark Irish looks would be enough to last a lifetime…
Gene Kelly was one of the sexist men ever on the silver screen.
I once read a quote in which someone said: “Men wish they could be Fred Astaire (because he’s so sauve), women want to sleep with Gene Kelly.”
So I’m with ya on that one!
Walter Pidgeon.
Let me jump on the Ingrid Bergman, Rita Hayworth and oh my dear sweet gods Audrey Hepburn bandwagon, and make room for Jean Harlow as well.
And since orgies should always be comprised of even numbers, I’ll add Rita Hayworth, Dorothy Lamour at the time of the “Road” movies and Judy Garland circa “Wizard”.
What a yummy romper room all those would make…
I’m not into necrophilia…
Imagining y’all doing this is funny though.
Madeleine LeBeau - she played Rick’s ‘girlfriend’ Yvonne in Casablanca. I think she’s gorgeous.
Grace Kelly. I’d rear her window.
Rita Hayworth.
Mmmm Rita
gotta go find me a shovel
Female here…
Mark Lenard. Aside from the Star Trek roles, he was a classically trained stage actor. I met him once and the graceful carriage and dignified demeanor were real. He also had one of the most gorgeous voices ever to issue from a human being.
Another vote for Marilyn Monroe.
