Men in the Media Throughout Time






For the last sixty-plus years, the media perception of a man has changed drastically, but some stereotypes remained constant. From Clark Gable, to Sean Connery,Mel Gibson and Will Smith, men are always tough, suave and always get the girl. Here's just a sample of some of the male icons throughout history.

Best known for his appearance in Gone with the Wind, Clark Gable was the king of Hollywood during his film career.

Sean Connery has been around Hollywood for a long time, but he came to fame as the first actor to portray 007.

John Wayne, star of The Searchers, is one of the greatest western film stars of all time. Men still hold him as an icon to this day.

Mel Gibson was loved by women and made men desire to be like him. However, I will never where pantyhose like Gibson did in What Women Want.

Will Smith started as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but is now one of the many male icons around today.
