Steve McQueen - drunk, drug addict and wife beater. All touched on here, a forum dedicated to him:

James Dean - drunk, drug addict, sex addict, heavily into S&M, known affectionately as "The Human Ashtray."

Not saints, but all three were damn good actors, and very professional when in public. Brittany, Paris and Lindsay could learn something in that regard.

Maybe I should have stated that they had a good public image. How about that?

However, I do remember hearing that both McQueen and Dean did a lot of charity work related to orphans and foster kids. Both seemed to have a soft spot for disadvantaged kids, I suppose because they had both been down that road. John Wayne has a cancer hospital named after him, no idea if he contributed to it, or if it was just a cool name.
