Is it just me, or does Anton Chekhov look a bit like James Franco?
In case you are wary of dating playwrights, Chekhov was also a practicing physician. According to Wikipedia, he was quoted as saying, “Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my mistress.” With those looks, I bet literature was not his only mistress.
AAAHHHH! WHAT A HOTTIE! James Franco freaking drives me nuts, but I think Chekhov is/was hot and was a pretty kick-ass playwright. Thanks for posting gorgeous photo! If he was my man, I would beat up my “Three Sisters” (I actually have two) if they tried to come between me n Anton! ❤
Who knew, right?! Searching for Victorian hotties is probably the most fun thing I do for this blog. Next time you’re on the site, go back a couple of weeks and check out Hermann Rorschach of “Rorschach inkblot test” fame. That one blew our minds. Also, nice use of Chekhov play title in your comment!
I like his short fiction…and now I know to like his dashing visage, too. 🙂
If only he were still around for book signings!
“Sigh” and also *swoon*.
Next time girls start swooning about famous actors I’m going to start talking about Chekhov.
I second that approach whole-heartedly! “Brad Pitt? Please, have you seen Jack London?”
