There was a time, maybe thirty or forty years ago, before cable TV and cell phones, where one man could be so impressive in his accomplishments and force of personality, he would almost universally be recognized as the coolest man in America. His field could range from medicine, science, sports, politics or entertainment. Since the advent of the internet, though, this is no longer possible. Who, in your opinion, was the last "coolest man in America"?

Couldn’t disagree more. He seemed to be a self indulgent thrill seeker to me. Empty thrill seeking is not cool.

At one point in his career, he not only did cool things, but was a cool guy, as well. Again, this was at a particular time in his life and at a time in history where he was considered the last universally recognized coolest man in America.

I agree. From a purely American, traditional standpoint, it was indeed Steve McQueen.

Actually, and this may give it away, Reynolds was the number two coolest man in America at the time.

That is such a generalization. We should all take a letter of the alphabet and check out Dead or Alive for living celebrities. OK Gang check your own initial - I’ll take S.

I was going to say Robert Shaw but I think he was born in England. The name is Scottish and I thought he was even cooler than James Bond in “From Russia With Love”.
