All All. Sign In. George Stevens Hamilton. Tanned One. Noted these days for his dashing, sporting, jet-setting playboy image and perpetually bronzed skin tones in commercials, film spoofs and reality shows, George Hamilton was, at the onset, a serious contender for dramatic film stardom. Moving extensively as a youth due to his father's work Arkansas, Massachusetts, New York, California , young George got a taste of acting in plays while attending Palm Beach High School.

With his exceedingly handsome looks and attractive personality, he took a bold chance and moved to Los Angeles in the late s. MGM towards the end of the contract system saw in George a budding talent with photogenic appeal. It wasted no time putting him in films following some guest appearances on TV. While the film was not overwhelmingly successful, George's heartthrob appeal was obvious.

This in turn led to an enviable series of film showcases, including the memorable Southern drama Home from the Hill , which starred Robert Mitchum and Eleanor Parker and featured another handsome, up-and-coming George George Peppard ; Angel Baby , in which he played an impressionable lad who meets up with evangelist Mercedes McCambridge ; and Light in the Piazza another BAFTA nomination , in which he portrays an Italian playboy who falls madly for American tourist Yvette Mimieux to the ever-growing concern of her mother Olivia de Havilland.
