Actors Charles “Buddy” Rogers (1904-1999) and Richard Arlen (1899-1976) were 23 and 28 when they starred in Wings in 1927. The first film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, it was also one of the first to show two men kissing -- both when aviators are presented medals by a French general and are ceremonially pecked on their necks, and, more significantly, in a lingering deathbed kiss between friends Rogers and Arlen.
