Either couldn’t or wouldn’t, which caused some embarassing mixups with wardrobe (examples: 1 and 2.)
Oh yeah. In that incredibly hot scene in The Hunger where she seduces Susan Sarandon, the boys would look at us girls and say something like “But no, you wouldn’t… I mean, if she… honey? Honey?”
She was, unfortunately, well on her way to rasping grizzlehood by 1980, when she played crazy bitch Capt. Lewis in Private Benjamin. Pic.
I was watching Heroes the other day thinking, “When did Eric Roberts become a candidate for Cracked.com’s Men who look like old lesbians?”
I watched one of the “behind the scenes” making-of videos for Mass Effect, and Shannon Elizabeth, who did some voice acting for the game, was featured in one of the interviews. Holy shit! She looked like she was in her 40s, not her early 30s. She’s not aging well, and she’s still quite young.
Jeez, I just had one too! He was damned hot!
She was quite good looking. I loved her as the Princess Gwendolyn in The Court Jester. Hubba hubba.
“If he dies, you die…”
All of which reminds me of Kathleen Turner. Someone who’s only known her recent incarnation might be surprised at the (barely suitable for work) earlier version. (Rent Body Heat for the full effect.)
(In fairness, I believe she’s had some health problems.)
I had always known of Laurence Olivier as one of the “great actors,” but had never heard him referred to as particularly dreamy. I was most familiar with him from the films Sleuth, Marathon Man, The Merchant of Venice and Rebecca (in which he was young, but very very creepy). Having recently watched Pride and Prejudice and (especially) Wuthering Heights, I’ve discovered man was hot.
Here’s a 1942 picture. Not very Shultz-like but also not very blonde.
I never realized that the Gloria Stuart in Titanic (1997) was the same Gloria Stuart who was in The Invisible Man (1933).
She wore miniskirts into her '70’s. Legs that wouldn’t quit.
She got Bette Davis eyes.
Film critic James Agee was moved to write of Lansbury in the 1940s, when she was playing young tarts: “She looks like the milkmaid in a pornographic print.”

Oh my god… Joseph Smith is a female Cardassian!
I saw a picture of Prince Charles in a magazine from the early 70s once and I was shocked to see how cute he was.
It was pretty obvious Gregory Peck was good looking at any age, but I didn’t realize how hot he was when he was young til recently.
Princess Bride: 20 Yrs. Later was a bit of a shocker. I myself didn’t start out nearly as well as most of these people. I’m doomed.
Lindsay Lohan will be an interesting test case…question being: will it take 10 years, 5 years, or 6 months for us to say ‘wow, she used to be hot!’
