This may sound odd, but I’m interested in this. I was watching that Andy Griffith special last night, and it was cool seeing what all of the stars from yesteryear look like today. Now I was just sitting here, I don’t even know what show it is, but they were talking to Alan Young, and I thought it was just so interesting.
An odd request, I know, but still. 😃

I know what you’re getting at,. Unfortunately there aren’t many people sick enough to dig up Marilyn Monroe’s corpse and post the photos on the Web just so sicko necrophiliacs like you can get their kicks. You revolt me. And so does broccoli.

Ok, let me narrow my request down.
Are there any MATURE people who can help me out here?

I retract my previous statement. on second thought, there probably are photos like that on the Web. But they’re probably really hard to find. And maggots disgust me. I’d sooner die than let them clean my wound.

Here’s a site,that has some of the lesser lights from movies/tv (as well as familiar ones).Tho not all currrent,eg,a 70 year old or dead actor may have a still from his 30s or so,but it’s a decent collection.

Not a single site, but I’ve found plenty of recent pictures of older actors using Google image search. Just Google the name of the actor you’re looking for, and then click on the Images tab. Among the pictures from his or her heyday, you’re likely to see a few from more recent appearances at awards shows, conventions, etc. And of course, if the actor has any kind of following at all, there’s bound to be a website. Here’s [Alan Young’s](http://www.mister-ed.tv/AY2.htm), which has both an old picture and a current one on the home page. (It really is nice to see him still looking so cute!)

Thanks Titan, that’s an excellent site. [Here](http://www.tvtome.com/) is another that will help for television personalities.

You should try the Internet Movie DataBase [http://us.imdb.com/search](http://us.imdb.com/search)
They often have both shots from the movies/TV shows and also recent shots at movie premiers, oscars, and other red-carpet events.
