George Hamilton, 72, is on the cover of The National Enquirer because he is “battling skin cancer” but in fact, he’s had skin cancer for at least ten years. He’s had lesions removed through years and has only recently cut back on his sun exposure and switched to spray tans. Tanning addict George was one of the last people to give up using sun reflectors for his face! His cancer treatments are over and now he’s in New York rehearsing for a 9 month tour of the musical “La Cage Au Folles.” Luckily, he also has a 38 year old girlfriend, Barbara Sturm, who happens to be a doctor

Skin cancer, gee who could ever have predicted that …
he now tries “Living Like Michael Jackson”?
Trying to keep improving your looks can become habit forming. The more you tan the more you have to tan, the weight you lose the more you have to lose. When you look okay to everyone else, you are Never satisfied with what you see in yourself. George Hamilton made a cameo in the movie Bulsworth, and he was referred to as “The Tan Man”. George has the reputation of a lady’s man, and is a wonderful friend to his ex wife Alana, but he is even more well known for his tangerine complexion!!
Apperently he digs the older babes as much as some of Hollywood digs the real young ones. Hope his complexion turns back into what whould be considered normal skin now. Just today I found out I have Squamous Skin Cancer on my hand. But I am an Irish woman by blood and have been living in the desert for 12 years now.
I’ve always though he looked really rediculous!
@Palermo – LOL!
I once heard he goes through women as he does socks. Literally, this guy will not wear the same pair twice.
@Reta,
Sorry to hear about your condition,wishing you good health.
I know Palermo. Shocking isn’t it?
@Palermo
LOL!!! : )

I don’t know what to think of Mr. Hamilton. From talk shows and interviews, he struck me as someone that enjoys life and doesn’t care for the burden of responsiblity. Who can blame him? lol Not in the photo above but in most of his posed photos he has the most impish grin (like he has just launched a deadly air biscuit into a crowd of unsuspecting victims.) lol 🙂
He looks foolish and orange…..the tanning booth worshipers will be dropping like flies over the next few years.
Sorry to hear this Reta, glad they caught it. I had precancerous cells on my forehead, and I grew up in gloomy Detroit. Back in my day nobody used sunscreen and we sat in the sun with baby oil on. The doc said it’s all an accumulation of sun throughout the years. Everybody should see a dermatologist for a full body check once a year.
Know adays you can get cancer from too much Sun and it is a good time to stop and I am happy that Mr George Hamilton is protecting his skin and really cares about his heath and just fade to a nice little brown.
To spy on a Tan…He must feel good about having Brown Skin and must really love the way it looks and…He still has it going on? Beautiful and Blond and Smart Young Pretty lady in this picture is incredible and…They look so Happy together and Yes Mr Hamilton Many people all over the world really love you for you and You have brought major joy to all parts of the world..You have torched so many lives. You a Dam Good Actor!
George’s skin damage is done so if he has the C at his age it is a bit late to do much.
WOmen who flock to him are wanna be’s thinking his name can help their chances or those totally over the hill.
Reta, sorry to hear about that nastiness.
Not at all to make light of your situation but you should be acceptable for a medical marijuana prescription. Good for appetite if your doing radiation.
He is still making a living and still taking care of himself and people are still wanting him for movies and little shows here and there and the world always have to remember…That all the movies he made early on in his Hay Days..He simply gets a check for that and yes he is old and his youth is gone! But he still has something that attracks the world to him and..He still has a Career. When you get older..You gather more wisdom and learning?
“a deadly air biscuit”!?!?! LOL Walt
Walt! 🙂 🙂 🙂
(And now we know why George called his signature cologne for men: “Silent But Deadly”)
@Denise & Mona
The rumor is that the lethal “biscuits” smell suspiciously like Ritz Pita Thins Toasted Chips!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!! 🙂
Geez, I was just wondering about him yesterday! How fortuitous! He hasn’t aged a day! Proves my theory, that good genes trump all of this ‘avoid the sun’ crap.
His memoir that came out a few years ago is a terrific read! He’s most definitely a survivor who has had more than one comeback. His son Ashley has had some difficult times…
He seems like a really nice man, I never heard anything bad about him. I wish him well.
George Hamilton is a role model for men and..He is the father of acting and..Every man that comes after him..Meaning in the last 39 years of his acting career..He was the front runner and..We use him as an example of acting and..I face the cold hard facts that some of the roles he has played has been amazing and outstanding and fantastic and..I am happy that he has changed and gather a Healthy life style and is clear of all Cancer.
“the father of acting” Casonia? Honey I think you need to get out of Hell’s Kitchen and get some fresh air.
@Casonia
SWEETIE, PUT THE BONG DOWN.
George Hamilton isn’t the “father of acting” nor is he a “role model for men”. Do you really believe that or is this just your way of getting someone into a discussion?
She specializes in anti-aging and skin rejuvenation. She’s in love with her prime guinea pig…
Walt, what can I say? I think you might have been a groovy dude as we used to say back when I smoked a bong! Anyway, I would have danced your ass into the floor, because humor is the biggest turn on!
Patrick: On radiation (yet) so far just a biopsy has come back positive and I wll have surg on the 18th, which will be a lengthy ordeal from the sounds of it. I am also in the middle of moving, so am MAJORLY stressed out right now. Hope alls well on your side of the fence! (And put Casonia back in her can, won’t you please?)
Just take it easy REta. It will work out. It always does.
As for Casonia, have you googled her name yet? Theres not much you can do with one of those.
@Reta (my little cupcake….if I nickname you after food, then you know your practically family. lol)
I would have been delighted to join you on the dance floor. I have rather large feet (Be nice now. lol) & questionable rhythm and would have probably left your delicate toes scratched and bruised. 🙂
I have no doubt that your surgery on the 18th will be completely fine. You will do great my dear. Please don’t make us wait and wonder and let us know how you are at your earliest convenience. Okay?
You indicated that you were moving too? Anything else stressful that you want to tackle? World hunger? Peace in the Middle East? Madonna a successful film career? lol
You have to get better quickly because Patrick doesn’t do very well in your absence. Me thinks you are his special buddy muse. 🙂
I usually don’t like those lucky ones who have been born with a silver spoon in their mouth, such as George.
However, I like Georgie, because I think he would talk to you and not be stuck up, as some stars are. He is what he is.
I know he is a rogue when it comes to the ladies, but he is a lovable rogue. LOL 🙁
I love HELLS KITCHEN,,Not Hamilton..My mother loved that man and of course…I am not there on Hells kitchen busting my ass and winning the game..But I rather be there then any where at this moment but season 9 is still going on and season 10 is the end and so there goes my chance 100% But as far as George goes..He must have it going on as far as his age goes and the lady with him really looks happy and cheerful with that man.
Denise my dear…I wish I was there in Hells kitchen going throw all the crap..I See each week. But that is just wishful thinking and…The reason..I Started blogging more is the get Chef Gordon Attention but who know? But George has to have something that is keeping a young lady around and that means he has a great sense of humor and can put the moves down in the room but there is something attracting her to him.
There must be love and kindness and feeling a connection in order to have some one feel that way about you.. But I am happy for George Hamilton having some one to love and some one to spend time with.
@Casonia
“…I Started blogging more is the get Chef Gordon Attention but who know? ”
I think a blog is a great idea. That’s what you need as an outlet for your Hell’s Kitchen thoughts and comments.
What’s your blog address??
Cheers! 🙂
Good grief Walt, you don’t really want to read her blog??!!!??? Methinks you must have overdosed on cheesecake and are just feeling dizzy.
@Denise
Shame on you. You should know me better than that by now. 🙂 I seriously doubt Casonia has a blog because me thinks she uses this site and others to express herself rather than actually have her own blog.
I was hoping to “plant” the personal blog idea in her head. It might be something that she would actually enjoy. Oh well, bag is empty now…..where did that cat go??? 🙂 lol
@ Denise
PS) Okay, there was a small overdose on Red Velvet Cake today but that’s all I’m admitting to!!!!! lol
