Brooklyn-born actor Eli Wallach had a dream life growing up: his parents owned a candy store. And we’re quite sure that Eli was the sweetest thing to ever be in that confectionary store. After graduating from college with a degree in history and earning an advance degree in education, the acting bug had bitten Eli and it was only a matter of time before he was on stage, performing in productions of Tennessee Williams and Eugène Ionesco plays. All that hard work on the stage paid off, and soon enough Eli was heating up the silver screen in memorable films like, The Magnificent Seven (1960), The Misfits (1961), How to Steal a Million (1966), and The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly (1966), where he teased a look at his manly body and butt during a bath. It’s all good from where we’re standing! We got another dose of skin from Eli in the adventure flick Romance of a Horsethief (1971). While most moviegoers had a romance for Mr. Wallach, he frustrated his many fans by keeping his clothes on in the rest of his films. But it’s safe to say that the talented actor’s modesty couldn’t keep us from enjoying his smoldering hotness in the films Crazy Joe (1974), The Deep (1977), Sam’s Son (1984), and The Godfather: Part III (1990). We recently lost Eli in 2014, but let’s hope that he’s resting peacefully in the afterlife inside a candy store.
