    Thanks to bbjeg for the idea! This week's contest is dedicated to actors and actresses who are 65 and over--photos of the actors, as they are now, in their current age (or relatively close to their current age). Any actor/actress, whether they are famous for movies or television, from ANY GENRE. The only condition is that they NOT be production stills/scenes from tv and film. I'm looking for publicity shots, press photos, the actors as they are--not in costumes, not in performance, etc. The poll will go up Friday.

    Some suggestions:
    Michael Caine
    Sean Connery
    Robert Duvall
    Ellen Burstyn
    Robert Redford
    Maggie Smith
    Judi Dench
    Anthony Hopkins
    Morgan Freeman
    Robert DeNiro
    Ben Kingsley
    Helen Mirren
    Alan Rickman
    Ian McKellan....just to mention a few.


    Here's mine, to start us off:
    Harrison Ford, age 72, and as far as I'm concerned, he's still got it. :adore:

    And at least one of the guys in the background also qualifies (while one is barely under 65).

    Edit: Doh, I just realized Wikipedia says he's 64.. so he's not quite there. I'll go for another.. heh.

    Try #2: Donald Sutherland, one of Canada's greatest actors at 79.

    I almost feel compelled to change my entry in order to diversify this thread. Seriously, how is Nichelle Nichols the only non-white AND the only non-male entry?!

    Yeah, I'm kinda surprised there aren't more women entered. I thought for sure Helen Mirren would come up. But I will definitely vote for your entry because I ADORE Tom Baker.

    One more day for entries, folks. Poll will go up tomorrow evening.

    ^

    'cause its still a Star Trek board, she's aged beautifully, and most other Trek vets in the age bracket have died so they wouldn't qualify for the contest, or are white males?

    I didn't know half of those people were over 65, especially Gates McFadden.
