  1. Dean’s voice sounded so natural and unforced. He had a remarkable romantic quality about him.
    Steve McQueen had cool. Robert Mitchum had tough. Sinatra had suave. Growing up, these were all things we wished we could imbue as young men growing of age. However, I will toss in something that struck me in my formative years in addition to the gentlemen I mentioned above, Katherine Hepburn had a quality of agency and toughness, while still coming across as a woman.
