Time ticks on. So i thought it might be interesting to see some of the greats (those still around) from back in the day and today. Or even those that are no longer with us.

First is Lauren Bacall. The B/W is a random studio publicity shot. The other, from May 2012, was taken by photographer, Andy Gotts**. Bacall will turn 89 in September. Older, yes, but doing so gracefully.

The one and only Bogart.

1950's still by photographer, Richard Avedon.

Great pictures. "Time ticks on", indeed.

I saw something similar recently, with a bunch of famous people: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/view/83202198/

Oh my...

But I will add, Simon & Garfunkel and Peter Frampton seem to be the only ones who have aged well and maturely...all other rockers seems to be trying to hold on to their youth, and not very well...

Paul Newman, Clint and Bogie aged so well....

Bogie looks very sick in that pic though....

With the discussion in the other thread about Van Damme's cool Volvo commercial, he seemed a next good choice to place here.

He just turned 53 in Oct, but living 'life in the fast lane,' back in the 90's, has made him look so much older than that, imho.

He had a reality series (2011) I recently saw on cable.
It was an interesting watch.

I watched AMADEUS (1984) again, recently (a great film, imo). It's hard to believe it was made 30 years ago, already. Anyhow.. it made me wonder what Wolfgang was looking like these days...

He'd make a good Santa, now, as he did just turn 60, in Dec. of last year.

Mirosae · « **Reply #16 on:** February 03, 2014, 06:57:13 PM »

He was SO cute.

Still, 60 but kept that friendly face.

And Joan Collins looks mighty fine for being 80, I gotta say. And she says no knives, either. I read one comment where she would rather layer up the makeup than to ever go under the blade to have work done.
