Stumbled upon a decades old picture of a celebrity earlier this week, and was struck by how stunningly attractive she was, and how amazing it is that she is STILL attractive. Thus the idea for this thread. Post a link to two pictures of a famous person (celebrity, model, poltico, whatever) with the WIDEST gap of time between them. I’ll start us off with… Helen Mirren in 1969 she looked [amazing](http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&docid=TCrhkqFPo8muPM&tbnid=jJjtpCPAyyqI1M:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thetimes.co.uk%2Ftto%2Fmagazine%2Farticle3464243.ece&ei=sJakU7OdIbLLsAS7jIHYDg&bvm=bv.69411363,d.cWc&psig=AFQjCNGuTT1V1fRfw_qv6MOlI1fKKRaOIQ&ust=1403381493902852) In 2014, she still looks [still amazing](http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&docid=_wOD8sdkdX3P6M&tbnid=dI_w7kUe34Yf-M:&ved=0CAUQjRw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.moutonsalon.com%2Fhome-mouton-salon%2Fhelen-mirren-receives-a-star&ei=mpmkU_DQDKTNsQTQn4HQDw&bvm=bv.69411363,d.cWc&psig=AFQjCNGwNMcHOSACAvDKz46WDkvykVoiqw&ust=1403381953409935) By my math, that’s 45 years between pics. Can ya top that? By the way, feel free to go with either gender. For the thread, for the love of God people, for the thread!!! Get your minds out of the gutter. ---

Assuming artificial preservatives are allowed, Barbara Eden has been around about as long as Sophia Loren.
