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.
Here's mine: 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?
Some non-white males of qualifying age: Morgan Freeman Avery Brooks Samuel L. Jackson George Takei Akira Takarada James Earl Jones Bill Cosby Billy Dee Williams Edward James Olmos Cheech Marin Danny Glover Sidney Poitier Louis Gossett, Jr. Some women (of all ethnicities) of qualifying age: Helen Mirren Judi Dench Meryl Streep Glenn Close Susan Sarandon Kathy Bates Mie Hama Kumi Mizuno Diana Ross Cicely Tyson Sophia Loren Claudia Cardinale Jane Fonda Senta Berger Gates McFadden Linda Hunt Tina Turner Carol Channing Lots of good candidates there, and I'm sure I've forgotten quite a few.
