Lot of tough guy/movie heroes present and past are Republican or are at least very sympathetic to the Republicans: Sylvester Stallone, Jim Caviezel, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris, Mel Gibson, Kelsey Grammer, James Caan, Charlton Heston, Ronald Reagan, Chuck Connors and many others. Costner is a Mayor Pete liberal.
Ones like Dinah Shore, Ginger Rogers, Betty Grable, and other popular actresses of that time were Republican as well.
