1942: Bing Crosby
Bing Crosby was not only regarded as one of the most handsome actors and singers of his time (seriously, ask your grandma if you don’t believe me), but he was also one of the most popular stars on the scene for almost two decades. So, yeah, this guy was a pretty big deal.

In 1942, Crosby starred in several films like Holiday Inn and Road to Morocco and also recorded the classic song White Christmas, which continues to play on the radio every holiday season! That’s right; if you’re not familiar with his movies, this is the man responsible for your jolly holiday spirit.
