Boomer Icons We Love

Richard Gere

At age 73, Richard Gere solidified his place in Hollywood history long ago when he starred as male escort Julian Kay who is accused of murder in 1980’s American Gigolo (above), a film so iconic it was remade recently as a Showtime series.

But Richard Gere is not just a rom-com heartthrob who shined bright opposite Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman and Runaway Bride (reader, they’re two of my favorite films of all time). He’s also dynamic in crime dramas like The Cotton Club and Arbitrage and compelling in I’m Not There and Time Out of Mind.

And he’s absolutely swoon-worthy in romantic dramas like Days of Heaven, An Officer and a Gentleman, and Sommersby. Long may Gere’s rom-com flag fly — and all the other flags. We’d watch him in anything.
