Last Old Hollywood star?


Is Clint the last actor/filmmaker from the “Old Hollywood” era who still stars in and directs new movies? The only other person I can think of is Dick Van Dyke, but he only does supporting roles now.

Robert Wagner stepped out of the public eye during the pandemic. Can't blame him for that. Now it looks like he's starting up again.

Leonardo DiCaprio is still acting in movies as far as I know....sure, the guy's getting old, but I believe he's still active in Hollywood.

I don’t even consider him as part of the “old Hollywood era”. He’s at best 2nd generation. Even though his first gig (uncredited) was in 1955, that’s a quarter century into Hollywood being a filming center.

That said, I think the somewhat recent (2020) death of Olivia de Havilland may have been the final star of the 1930s Hollywood, and she was just 19 in her first role (in 1935)
