Torin Thatcher with hair in the 1936 film the Man Who Could Work Miracles. In all his other films (seventh Voyage of Sinbad, Jack the Giant Killer, Hawaii, witness for the Prosecution, the Star Trek episode “Return of the Archons”) he’s completely bald. And a lot older. Odd to see him as a surprisingly handsome young guy.
But was he a stud?
Lemme guess – The Harvey Girls, right? In which Angela Lansbury plays Em, the hard-boiled madam of the Alhambra saloon who’s trying to drive Judy Garland and the rest of the Harvey Girls out of town?
I was a bit surprised by Lansbury in that one myself.
Speaking of Bonanza, seeing older pictures of **David Canary ** always surprises me.
Canary as Candy Canaday from “Bonanza”.
Canary as Adam Chandler from the soap “All My Children”.
You should see the Young Miss Lansbury in 1948’s State of the Union with Spencer Tracy. It’s a cute little romp about Ross Perot some 30 to 40 years in the future. [wink, wink, if you’ve seen it, you know what I mean]
She was downright babe-a-licious in that one. It even has Van Johnson in it!
John Fiedler and Walter Brennan. Even when they were young, they were still old!
Agreed Fiedler looked old in the Odd Couple.
I was surprised to learn that Walter Brennan is the guy who got his bike stolen in The Invisible Man, but you can’t see much of him, or tell how old he looks.
Yes. I’d borrowed the video Summer Stock from my local library and it had the trailer to The Harvery Girls included as a bonus. Looked like it would be a fun movie.
More like scary, considering that he did it to himself.
You know, if I didn’t know better, I would never guess that those two pictures are the same person.
And that second one should come with a warning label. Yikes. :eek:
Alec Guiness was in something prior to Star Wars ? :eek:
Who would have known!
Jon Voight in Catch-22. Through the whole movie, his character seemed to be a charming, if somewhat overly greasy (in the personality sense, not the physical sense) fellow, but he didn’t strike me as being familiar at all (aside from when I had previously seen pieces of the movie, which I’ve never managed to watch all at once).
Then, one time I was watching, in a scene towards the end where he says something particularly chilling, the light catches his face JUST the right way and he seems to age 30 years and I’m like "OMGWTFBBQ! :eek: "
For some reason, THAT was the most impacting moment of the entire film for me :dubious:
How about seeing Alec Guiness looking so young in Star Wars Episode III? (joking) I wonder if any of the Hollywood suits have gotten the (dubioius) idea of casting Ewan McGreggor in a series of remakes of old Alec Guinness flicks?
Heck, he kind of looked like Marlon Brando
I got the first year of Kung Fu on DVD the other day.
Jodie Foster at age 11 steals the show in the episode titled Alethea.
Which one was that? curious now
Diana Rigg. I’m used to seeing her as the narrator on Mystery!, and playing the elderly housekeeper in A&E movies. It was surprising to see her as Emma Peel in The Avengers, made in the 60’s.
I rented Secret Agent (1936) not long ago and just Could. Not. Recognize the very young John Gielgud, see also here, when all I’d ever known was the distinguished older gentleman from Arthur and such films.
