Golden Age Actors/Actresses Who Aged Gracefully

[Heather]

These are some excellent examples!

I've always admired William Powell.

In "The Thin Man" (
In his later years (around mid sixties, I think, shortly after retiring from film):

He passed away at the age of 91 in 1984.

Yeah, he aged pretty well. His older photo reminds me a bit of Cesar Romero...who also aged pretty darn well.

Leslie Caron is still beautiful

Great examples. As for not aging, what about Walter Brennan? He looked old from the start, and didn't necessarily look any worse in Rio Bravo then he did in Barbary Coast

^^Walter Brennan looked about the same from around 1955 until his death. Even if you go back to about 1945, he still doesn't look that much different from about the time he passed away.

Another vote for Cary Grant and Lauren Bacall. I'll add another favorite of mine: Robert Young. Sorry for no photos, but look at him back in West Point of the Air, then in Father Knows Best, then in Marcus Welby. Lovely man.

William Powell aged gracefully, as was mentioned before. I just wanted to mention I have always loved watching him as Doc in "Mr. Roberts". Who else could turn rubbing alcohol into Scotch, but William Powell?

Cary Grant's last movie was "Walk, Don't Run", I think. Although he didn't play the romantic lead, he still looks very handsome. Although he does end up power walking in his boxer shorts.

Not bad for 68. Ray Milland on Columbo:

Beverly Garland looking pretty good when she was 76:



Remembered as Fred MacMurray's wife on My Three Sons, she will for me forever be the semi-tough secretary, Miss Foster, who Edmond O'Brien roughs up in D.O.A. (although in the film she went by the name Beverly Foster).
