Blast From The Past

Back in the day, there was a certain classic charm and depth in performances, with actors like Marlon Brando and Clint Eastwood delivering unforgettable roles. The quality of storytelling and the timeless appeal of old movies are hard to beat. Today's entertainment industry offers advanced technology and diverse content, but sometimes lacks the raw authenticity of the past. And also if I may mention, actors of the past were known for their elegance, privacy, and class. In contrast, today's actors - though not all - often come across as vulgar and seem to lack the same sense of decorum and sophistication. I'm a fan of old time actors like Audrey Hepburn and Julie Andrews and some modern ones like Denzel Washington, Liam Neeson, Meryl Streep too.

i have a lot of respect for eastwood. first thing is he's still alive and kicking

In some ways, we can't compare. Yet I believe that yesteryear actors, both male and female seemed to had a lot more time at hand. Now most actors serm rushed. May be that makes the yesteryears ones as more attractive. It cannot form the basis of comparison as well. Plus I think money factor is also there. With more monetary needs, actors do more shows than what they should. That makes them put up rushed performances which is not good for viewing or connecting with audience.

This was one of my all time favorites. But Marlon was hard to live with, so says his first wife. Naturally, temperamental to say the least. Talented none the less.

There's no comparison. They were good, clean, and enjoyable to watch. Today, they're just the opposite.

Eastwood son looks exactly like his father.

I'm with you on that. I love actors and actresses from the past.

Interesting question, and one I never really thought about.

Hmmmmmmmmmm let me think. LOL Julie Andrews qualifies? A spoonful of sugar...I love that song.

Actors and Actresses from back in the day just seemed to have more finesse

John Wayne and Clint Eastwood are two of my favorite actors of all time!

Some of those older actors and actresses were incredibly talented. Some had incredible charisma but I guess some of those of today do too.

No, I don't have favorites. I like old actors. They were very good.
