Way back in 2012 I did my first "Gratuitous Gardner McKay" post and it was one of my faves -- you know, given the subject matter. Look at him! (PS I really recommend you look at that earlier post, it's substantial.) Anyway this beauty nevertheless never had much of an acting career -- he was more of a writer, a sculptor, a sailor... one of them types that makes you feel like a real puddle of shit, what-am-I-doing-with-my-life types ya know? Thanks, Gardner! Point being I still haven't seen any of his performances save presumably his role as "Bearded Soldier" in Raintree County, but you'll have to forgive me for not recalling the no doubt immense impact he had on that narrative. (Also on Montgomery Clift in his trailer, one hopes.) But I still have managed to come up with a dozen plus new photos of Gardner in the almost-decade since that last post all the same, so we'll share them today, on what would have been his 89th birthday. (He died in 2001.) Hit the jump for it...

He could get it.
I agree… Gardner was gorgeous.
Big feet babe
Gardner McKay also wrote a beautiful play titled Sea Marks, which I saw at a theater festival some years ago.
