Classic actors that you can't believe got old.
Everyone gets old. That's a fact of life. But has there ever been an actor for you whose advanced age kind of shocked you because it seemed as if they could never get old? As in, they had an ageless, youthful quality to them? Or because they looked so much "of our time" that it's a shock to see them as elderly?
For example, I can't get over the fact that Audrey Hepburn got old. Katherine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, OK. But Hepburn seemed as if she was going to be young forever because when she was in her 30s, she ironically looked much younger, like someone in her teens.
Another example, Brigitte Bardot. At the peak of her career, she looked so modern that you would think she was only a star 30 years ago. So, in my mind, I keep thinking that she's only in her 60s, not in her 80s.
Another example for me is Burt Reynolds. I can't square the last images of him being a frail, little man with a cane with the guy that he was when he was younger.
