Turner Classic Movies is featuring John Gilbert’s films today in honor of his birthday.  He made about 100 films, and some of the best withstood the sands of time.

Below are some of my favorite photos of my favorite star.

This photo of John Gilbert was taken by MGM photographer Ruth Harriet Louise.
