It’s been a while since we did this, but I was browsing IMDb and noticed that Dick Clarke will be 75, come Nov. 30. Hell, his first marriage started back in '52.
A few days before that, Nov.21, Goldie Hawn will be 60.
Geena Davis will be 50 in January, Sigourney Weaver 56 in about a week, Neil Sedaka will be 67 in March, Barry Gibb is 59 as is Cher.
I keep forgetting the name of that guy who’s a lot in Vegas, black hair, face looks like a Halloween mask (Bob something?), but he certainly lloks long in the tooth.
Tom Cruise will be there soon, but is still a bit too young. Jacko doesn’t even register on the map.
What celebrities are you surprised to find out that they are that old? And who are future contenders?
None of those names seem that surprising to me.
Gene Wilder is 72. See, it doesn’t even look right written down. Gene Wilder is permanently 40 in my head, but somewhere in the world right now, Gene Wilder is out there and he’s 72.
Viggo Mortenson is a very hot 47 year old (or will be in three weeks).
Robert Blake is 72 and still quite the ladykiller. (He’s had an acting career since 1939.)
I wish that somebody would hire Charles Lane for one last good character role. He was so cute when he was on the TV Land Awards and when given a standing ovation for his 100th birthday he said, in that very familiar voice, “I’m still available if anybody’s interested”. He’s frail as any 100 year old but his mind is evidently still sharp, and he actually appeared in a couple of silents (uncredited, as an extra).
Mickey Rooney never seems to get any older, but that’s because he seems to have gone from cute young guy to fugly middle aged “Mrs. Go-right-ry I pro-test” to fugly old troll in a period of about 10 years. If he gets a job next year it will be his 80th year of film making (which I’d respect if it wasn’t for the fact I can’t stand him).
Robert Wagner looks well under 75. George Hamilton has always looked like a 60 year old who’s had good facelifts to me, but now he’s actually 66.
Gloria Stuart is probably the oldest woman who still gets acting roles. She made a movie last year when she was 94. She was appearing in films when some theaters still weren’t equipped to handle talkies.
Dawn Wells (Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island is an incredibly well preserved 67 without looking too artificial.
There are actually paintings of Shirley MacLaine, Gene Hackman, Don Knotts and Barbara Eden on cave walls and they all looked the same as they do.
I guess it may be amazing to people that Dick Clark is as old as he is, but I think the idea that Dick Clark looks like he hasn’t aged is a big myth.
nuh-uh.

That can’t be right!

Damn.
:eek:
'Cept the caption under Shirley’s image actually lists her as being Alley Oop’s girlfriend, Oona.
There’s only so much even Satan can do.
I agree, he looks every one of his years. He’s looked old to me since the media said he wasn’t.
He must be paying someone!
I was amazed how animated and healthy Art Linkletter seemed when he hosted Disneyland’s 50th Anniversary events that I attended on July 17th. He turned 93(!) on that same day! :eek:
Alleged ladykiller, if you please. He was acquitted.
Richard Widmark at 90 is alive and kicking.
Karl Malden is 92.
But you expect them or be old.
